I would tell you X-ray vision, but the truth is that the milled magazines just have a different appearance when they are in the pistol. The metal portion of the tube extends past the frame at the front when the magazine is installed.

The chances are that your magazines marked with matching numbers could very well be original, but that can't be determined without some very closeup photos of the tubes from both sides, and closeups of the bottoms from different angles... diagnosis from long distance must rely on good photos...
