Probably prototype mags that proposed during trials so probably cant get them anywhere.

Those are prototypes. Never came further than trials, as far as I know.

I can read what's written on paper under those mags if I can see higher resolution picture. 20rd mag looks cool though. That part of paper I can read.

below carbine says experimental auto carbine chambered in m43 cartridge aka 7.62x39

Cool stuff, would be spicy to control an Avt with a drum or a 15-20 round mag of x54r I bet.

Apparently there was an order issued early in the war telling not to use auto fire when it came to 54x rifles. If I remember the article correctly it was issue to inaccuracy of auto fire and soldiers wasting ammo too fast.

Apparently some 15 rounders somehow made it in circulation. An example in half decent condition was purchased a few months ago at flea market in Voronezh by one of the guns.ru users. According to R.N. Chumak 20 rounders were mass produced at some point as well. Trommel mags were tried and worked very well, but didn't make it into production.
