30 round magazine questions

[CPC]

I purchased a bunch of Garand ammo from a retired WWII vets son this weekend and in the bottom of one of the boxes were a bunch of full M1 carbine magazines like this. I looked at Rawles page from a previous post but he does not have pictures. Are these hardback or split magazines? I assume later because the rubber caps and is the SEY repro? They are in good condition but have a little grease that can be cleaned off. Thanks

These are split backs

Thx. They appear to be the hardback type based on the pics you posted and additional web research

Hardbacks

Get those dust covers off them. If they haven't already caused severe rust damage, they will!
