    Yes, it looks like the MP38/40 magazine would be loose. The MP38/40 magazine doesn’t the indentation at the back that the Sten magazine has. Other than that, they look pretty close.

    I guess the indentation keeps ‘crunchies’ from putting the Sten follower/platform in backwards und das macht nichts fur die Deutschen.

    That's about right, also in the low light conditions...it would slope the wrong way then. The Germans wouldn't do that, it wouldn't be proper...so it's not allowed.
