DWM or Erfurt Magazines

Yes,
there are different "Erfurts", early ones- before 1916 approx.- had two crown/letter inspection marks, as do the two on the left. Later one crown/letter sufficed.

I seriously doubt the two on the left are "replacements".

DWM commercial mags were not numbered.
DWM military mags were numbered, including, suffix, with a "+" on the spare mag.

There are exceptions of course.

Replacement mags get really complicated really quickly, they can have all sorts of combinations.
