With respect to the "+" sign on the spare magazines, if they were added by an armorer in the field, I don't think anyone would be able to say 90 years later. I don't believe I have read or heard of either way being correct or incorrect. I agree that the fonts of the numbers and the apparent age of the wooden bottoms, stain, etc. would all have to taken into account. After all, an LP08 rig with two or three original matching clips would be worth sigficantly more to collectors than mismatched or one matched magazine.
