Ok, I bought a set from Westrifle. They arrived last week.
They both fit well in my SVT but I won't have a chance to try them out "for real" until Feb. 15 when I go to my local range.
After comparing them with my original mag they appear to be "late type" repro mags whereas my original mag is an "early type" mag.
Repro is on the left.

Howdy folks... time for an update.
Well, I went to the range on Feb. 17 (holiday in MB) and tried the new mags.
Well, they won't feed... and I found out why... the lugs are too high... and thus the bolt does not catch the bullet rim and won't feed.
You will see the difference in the pic below. The repro mag is on the left. Anyone here have "soldering skills" ?? I would prefer someone local, i.e. in Winnipeg !!

I have 2 repro mags, they do not work well. Maybe worth 20 or 30$, not the ridiculous price being charged.
