My aluminum "GI" mags have no date stamp. The lack of a stamp would be held against me? I don't think so.

Plastic mags were usually date stamped as an internal reference by the manufacturer. Using them to identify whether the magazine meets some arbitrary date in legislation is a new concept.

This is yet another reason I like GI mags made on LaBelle tooling.
I think unmarked is reasonable doubt absent anyone who can prove that mag was not in possession July 1, 2013. I have several of these as well.

I think any receipt for that type of mag would suffice (if I'm on the jury). I have emails going back to 1999 that are backed up regularly. For more reasons than just the mag ban for me. If I go to court and show receipts for mags prior to July 1, 2013 then it's reasonable to assume I purchased the unmarked mags prior as well as I had use for them.

The problem with a mold marking is that a mark after July 1, 2013 could not logically be in possession prior to that date. As stated above, all they really have to do is get a letter from the manufacturer explaining how the marks work.

The legislation is shit for multiple reasons but it creates an expectation.
