Thanks Charlie. That is one of the places I had been looking at; I was also looking at this document from CMP:

And this website:
M1 / M2 Carbine Magazine FAQ

Its funny, I couldn't get my mind to make sense of the information from all three sources as a whole while I was reading them online but as soon as I printed each one out and read them they were pretty clear regarding the M2 magazines. I thought that I should share what I learned with the person selling the mags so he would know what he has; here's the note (in part) that I sent along with the sources mentioned above:

Based upon three different sources, the M2 mags are not USGI; they are commercial mags made in the 1970’s by a guy named Tony Scherer. I have read that some of the mags were OK and some were very bad. For commercial mags, $50-60 is just too much for me.

Now I see he has the mags listed on Gunbroker as USGI...

At least I know what a Front Top Roll Crimp is now...
