Thank you for the response. After researching, it looks like BCM is going to have the closest match and be most reliable for aluminum magazines. The Gen3 Pmags are the "USGI" mags for the Marine Corp and Army now.

BCM's magazines are made by D&H with BCM baseplates to "brand" them. D&H does that for a lot of different companies, like Palmetto State Armory and, I just discovered, Noveske. I know a lot of people like D&H, but I haven't been impressed with their construction, putting them next to a true GI magazine like Okay or Colt. They seem a little bit thinner (or made of lighter aluminum), and the spine and other seams seem a bit sloppy to me.
The Army hasn't adopted PMAGs yet, although it's possible to order them through the Class IX system using the NSN printed on the magazine. The standard Army magazine is the brown Enhanced Performance Magazine (EPM) right now.
