In to see what you find out.

I've got a black, circle 25, I think it's a cavity 1.

If the locking lug is brass it's a Pakistani copy.

These are definitely not Pakistani, AK47's litter that joint, but AK74's are rare in AFG/PAK

Quoted:

War booty captured AK74 magazines:

Black, no maker mark, mold #1     (It is different than the Circle 10 mold 1, )

Black, no maker mark, mold #2

Black Bulgarian, Circle 10, Mold 3 & Mold 4

Black, Circle 25, mold 1

Brown, Circle 25 mold 1

The Circle 10 and Circle 25's aren't rare. The Bulgy's made three shades of brown (firebrick, saddle tan, and brown). FWIW, most of the black Circle 25's that came into the US had brown followers for some reason.

The two with no makers mark could be any form of localized production or sanitized. If they were acquired stateside, I would guess black painted sanitized plums.

These two are probably Polish Tantal polymer mags.  I've only ever seen mold 1 & 2.

I'm not inclined to think tantal magazines...  these were picked up where russian and bulgarian armaments litter the land

Circle (10)s are extremely common.  Circle (25) and Circle (21) are a less common bulgarian military factory which have come into the US as mil surplus.  Kinda like with AR mags there have been a bunch of mil spec manufacturers over the years.
