30 round magazines where issued to some units very late in vietnam. I haven't seen many pictures earlier than 1969 or 70 with 30 round magazines.

My dad's second tour was real late in the war (71-72) with an air cav unit (F/4th Cav). By that point, going by photos 30 rounders were either extremely common or just universal, at least with them -- with both the guys in the Blues Platoon and the pilots that carried CARs using 30 round mags.
