    Bren Magazines

    Four new to me magazines. Any info welcome. I read somewhere here I believe that MA is Lithgow in Australiaicon. Fonts are different, two being small and one large. Thats the only marking I understand. The one magazine has an odd lifter that is made lighter and in two pieces.

    Looks like I might have one of the early MK I magazines that was upgraded to MK II during the war with a new baseplate. This is the one with the weird lifter. Is that why it has a weird lifter or is that an economy type war measure manufacture?
