I noticed the followers are different on a couple of my mags. Some are dished and some are domed. Didn't know if they were just a different style or what. The spread between the feed lips at the rear of the mag look the same

Is here a chance they are super mags? We have a few of those floating around.

The two on the right look like the same 47D magazines I'm running.  Same follower.  
The only difference is your mags are blued.

Not sure about the two on the left.

The dished, or convex follower wilson, was the only mag that jammed my sig..
The slide wouldnt even go into battery with the empty mag inserted.
Also it was possible to press down the front of the follower. With all my other 1911 mags, the followers were like no-tilt ar mags.
You can get the other followers and swap but I just traded for something else.

The black ones with the dished followers should hold 8 rds, they are 47D's

The stainless ones with the domes followers, do they only hold 7 rds?  If so they might be 47's

The two on the left are 7 shot 47s.  The two on the right are 8 shot 47Ds with the black finish option.  Both have stainless bodies. The 47 have convex followers and are slotted for round witness on the side.  47Ds have a concave follower to make room for the 8th round as well as an additional witness hole below the slots to see the 8th round.

The black ones usually have either a low profile steel base plate or a full size aluminum.  Did you swap them out?

Blued ones on right side are 47D's and should hold 8 rounds.  The other two look like 47's  which are standard 7 round mags.

Extra hole on the two on right is quick way to tell they are 8 rounders.

No hole = 7rounders

I didnt but that doesnt mean someone else didnt at one point. I found a few of my super mags and they are clearly different so even I am safe from mixing them up.
