I was going through my collection of spare magazines to sell, and thought I had three Hi Power magazines, but I'm now not so certain and was hoping someone could help me positively identify the magazine in question: it has a thicker plastic base plate with separate metal locking plate and a plastic follower, and it appears to be a factory 10-round magazine as the sides of the body have an extended crimp compared to the known Hi Power magazines.

I've owned both a Hi Power and a BDM, but unfortunately no longer have either to test fit.

Here's the magazine in question, which is the right-most one in the following pictures:

and the left-most in the following pictures:

and its internals:

Thanks for the help!
 
1st 2 are HP the other one is BDM

That's what I was thinking, but I managed to dig up a photograph of the BDM magazines that I owned, and I don't recall ever having more than these two. The magazine catch notch, feed lips, and follower look quite different, so I'm still thinking the mystery magazine is an HP, but would like to confirm that.

I believe they are high power mags possibly made by Italian company Mec Gar, I have one identical to this and two others similar but with the round count holes on the back of the mag.

The taller mag is a Beretta 92 mag.

Hard to tell from the picture and no measurements , could be.
Measure the length to top of base plate, the depth of the lock up notch, and the width and depth.
the one with plastic looks after market.

I have seem mags fit in guns that they are not made for, sometimes.
