What mags are these? I am new to 5.45x39. My guess is they are Russian made and imported through Bulgaria. I can't tell if this is considered Plum or Black.

There are stamps near the front locking lug. There are no arsenal markings or mold numbers, the mag bodies look like they may have scrubbed. Brown internals, all mags have 1 witness hole.

Thank you in advance, I have never collected Russian or Bulgarian firearms/mags.

You're proably right, scrubbed Russian plums sent to Bulgaria. I think they'd be considered black but not "true black." I could be wrong though, a lot of times they still have a faint plum color and "made in Bulgaria" stickers or markings
 
Scrubbed Russian mags. You can leave them as is, or hit them with some goof-off or citristrip to get some scrubbed plum magazines. If you strip them, you'll probably be able to tell whether they're of Izhmash or Tula make.
