Yes, Ithaca had three different magazines that were used. "R" marked for Risdon, "S" for Scoville and "L" for M.S. Little. All three were marked on top of the toe with the one letter designation.

The same manufacturers supplied magazines to Colt, but in addition to the R, S, or L on the top of the toe they will have C-R, C-S, or C-L on the bottom of the toe.
