magazine ID

How do you tell the difference between the model 75 and 85 magazines? I have two magnum mags I need ID on.

Thanks

If you look at the bottom of the magazine the 85 has straight taper from rear towards front. 75 bottom has mostly straight sides with a taper on the foremost 1/3. Visual effect is when compared side by side the 85 magazine looks slimmer.

Both magazines in the picture are model 75. It's clear because of the shape of the bottom, and 85 was never offered with this semi-gloss finish, only bead blasted matte. Also the shape and location of the follower retaining tab on the front of the magazine box is 75 style. And the shape of the magazine box itself is 75 too.
