I do have the M3 hand book I picked up at the War and Peace show, it details the wooden training aid, I've seen one somewhere in the past but where I don't remember.

I see people on GB all the time mistaking Sten mags for M3 mags. They look very similar, until you see them side by side.

Stemple converts the S&W 76 and copies (9mm) into Stemple 45's quite a bit. I think they use M3 mags for the conversion, but not 100% sure. Don't have one in front of me at the moment.

As mentioned when referring to Thompson mags, I would think making a copy of the Sterling mag follower would NOT be that hard and they should work just right in a Thompson double feed mag, not so much in the M3 Grease gun mag.
