Been picking up mags in lots at good prices here and there.

Most are run of the mill east euro style.

One I have looks different, and maybe someone can point me in a better identification direction.

Pictures can come later, but here's the rundown:
-Side Rib style is eastern euro
-Fully loaded witness hole
-Metal follower, no hole, pill shaped ridge
-NO spine. Instead, the spot welds are offset to the left on the back, and a half-circle rolled feature occupies the center on the back of the mag.

Aside from a PMag, it's the only one I currently have that doesn't have a traditional spine.

Any info would just satisfy my curiosity, thanks.

ETA: Forgot to mention, there's no markings, lettering, or stamps of any kind I've been able to find on the mag body, follower, or floor plate.

Looks like a typical Chinese flat-back to me.

I have an identical one taken off a dead Iraqi in 1991.

Thanks for the ID, it is unique in my pile, and pictures of Chinese flat backs weren't really showing anything for me.
