I currently have 4 Circle 10 Waffle mags.  Three are identical, but the 4th is slightly different.

The three have a plastic follower and plastic floor plate retainer, as well as a shiney exterior.

The forth one has metal follower and metal floor plate retainer, and has more of a dull flat exterior.

I am assumeing that the odd one is just an older mag?  Or is is military VS civillian???

OK for what it is worth, the top left looks like the other ones that I have (some of which I bought a long time ago others maybe 4-5 years ago but nothing recent) - the others not so much.  I stand to be corrected but the way everything gets copied today nothing would surprise me.  It kinda sucks but I would not for example, but an AK12 mag for top dollar these days for fear getting a fake.

I think the dull flat one is an older mag. If I'm seeing them right, the older mag also probably has the ((10)) logo oriented an odd way. I bought some newer mags and the ((10)) logo were all orientated the same way vs the older mags where they would be any position. Newer mags were also shinier/slicker.
