not only is there a 1 in a circle, the "1" is also inverted on some, but the significance of it was to ID magazines made by one subcontractor from another, i have heard that they were mfgd. by either FN or the original Armalite.., what i want to know is, is there a difference in the upright "1" & the inverted "1"......?????

The '1' means it was a commercial mag shipped with the early SP-1's. They will also have a lighter gray looking baseplate with different sized lettering than most military issue mags.

The Circle-1-marked mags are definitely mags that shipped with SP-1 rifles. There was only one mag supplier to Colt at the time: Universal Industries.
