Per Magpul:
We stopped making Gen 1's in 2008 so any marked after that are MRevs or M2 (MOE). MRevs are the most common mag out there and the most widely fielded polymer magazine in US combat history.

That's strange, because several of my Gen 1s, including the one in the white bag above, are dated Jan and Feb 2009. Here's a closeup of the date on one that was open:
Attached FileJust for fun, here's a comparison of the Feb 2009 mag on the left with a Nov 2007 mag on the right. The lettering is more prominent on the older mag, like the mold was starting to wear out by the time they got to the newer mag, but it may have just been that they cut a new mold that was a little different.

My gen 1 mags are in a zip lock bag with a cardboard backing. No white bags.

That's interesting. Would you mind checking the manufacture date on one of them? My 2007 mags might have come that way - I don't think I still have the original packaging for those. Obviously the 2009 mag in the white bag was from the last of the Gen 1s.
Here's an old Gen 2 / M2 in the tan bag compared to a recent M2 in the current green bag:
