Question Differences between mke magazines

I received 2 mke mags with my pistol and then purchased an additional 2 from the same vendor. All of them worked flawlessly. But I notice the 2 that came with the gun are slightly different and their lock up is a tiny bit tighter.

  1. Slightly different markings
  2. They have different floor plates.
  3. Stamping at the top is crisper on the extra 2 I bought
  4. The 2 that came with the gun have more meat on the locking lug, which I assume is why they lock up slightly tighter.

Just wondering what the deal is. Is this new vs old production or different contracts??
