Mark, the manufacturer's name on your magazine is "ERMA" and they have been in business in Germany for many years. IIRC, Erma made some of the first submachineguns used by the Germans in WW1... but don't quote me on that! I presently own an Erma ESP-85 target .22 that is of the highest quality and looks very much like earlier Hammerli target pistols.

I do agree though that the mags are likely later additions to the pistol and not WW1 or WW2 vintage.
