The other thing with the Imperial-size magazines is that as I've been given to understand, they were made of thicker sheet metal (or maybe the claim was better quality, my memory is a bit hazy on this 20 years after the fact).
I know from personal experience that many of the Australian made magazines were quite robust and I never heard of or experienced any problems with the mag lips unless it was from more than general use/wear & tear.
Can any of the British members comment on the UK made SLR mags?
