As a member of law enforcement I often encounter items that may be of interest to members here. I just acquired a interesting standard capacity P-mag of a type and color I haven't seen before.
On the surface it appears to be a standard MOE windowed FDE P-mag but the color is different (more of a coyote color) and has the newer blue type follower. Also this one has a NSN number molded in which I haven't encountered before.
Here's some pics:

Im not an expert on pmags but I can see that one is an M2 while the other is an M3..

China knockoff's would be my bet...
ETA:
Lots of dimensions on the odd-ball appear to be different (making it easier to make).
It appears to be the new USMC PMAG w/ the Army's (POS) EPM follower.
ETA:

So they took a good product, and placed a follower in it from the Army's attempt (and failure) at reinventing a solid product.
Yay Army!

CavSct1983= dream crusher!
I think you nailed it. These mags came from a soldier in 10th SF group at Ft. Carson. I don't think they are knock offs.
And here I thought this was going to be some kind of rare mag coup....[facepalm]

As far as the ordinance department goes, it's not "could" it's "does".
