DWM or Erfurt Magazines

All Erfurt replacements I've had have had two proofs on the base with no serial number. That these could have been used to supplement other supplies in production would not be unlikely.

True early Erfurt mags were unnumbered with two acceptance stamps but all pre 1916 issue mags were numbered with two acceptance stamps. See the photos below. The spare with this rig was an unnumbered stamped mag.
