Hi,
Did some inquiring and it is quite possible that these magazines are created from Mauser leftovers. About a 1000 magazine tubes were left after Mauser halted it's postwar production. These tubes, along with other spare parts were bought by a German arms dealer who resold them to a German trader.
I suspect that someone refabricated the tube bottoms and added them to the tubes, thus creating these S/42 - E63 magazines.
