For those who have asked, here's a photo of the mag bottoms:

Both seem to have "ghosts" of previous numbers underneath. But if they were ground off and renumbered, it sure looks like the proofs were applied at the same time as the new numbers. (?)

The left one -- 8165a -- has a proof at the bottom with a crossbar, then a "B", a separation bar and "90", and then another crossbar at the bottom.

The right mag -- 1616 -- has a "2" at the very top (second mag in a rig?), then an inverted "K" at the bottom.

I could find no markings or proofs on the mag bodies.

Any to everyone who has helped with the ID info:
