the markings are on the other side.
Thanks. I realized after I had posted. Duh.
Condition is fantastic.here is the side of proof markings, not scarce but the condition was.
USPS tracking tells me that my Danish G43 magazine should be arriving very soon. Yippy!
But now I am wondering if it is possible to make this poorly functioning reproduction magazine I have been using actually work? Most of the issues I can see have to do with the follower. Has anyone every tried, or maybe heard of, replacing the bad follower in a reproduction magazine with an original G43 magazine follower and made a usable magazine out of the combination?

Wait until you get the Danish mag, then start replacing parts of the poorly functioning mag with Danish parts until it works. This will tell you were the problem lies.
Unless you have a lot of time on your hands to fiddle with it, I wouldn't bother combining parts. You can find another original that will function perfectly as a spare. You CAN use the mag spring from the repop, you may need to bend it/ reform it a little.
Here are a couple dimensions I took off of working original mags. As you can see, dimensions can vary quite a bit for the mags to still feed fine.
Pay attention to the reference points.

I had a Danish mag that came with my first G43 a duv 44. It never did feed very well. After I bought a few originals I reshaped the Danish mag feeder lips so they looked more like the originals lips. That fixed my problems.
