And the bases on mine are the MP40 mag that have the long spring down the middle, not the sprig loaded button?

The 998E marked mag pictured on the right immediately above was WWII manufactured by Styer Warsaw It'll have WaA815 inspection stamps.
 
I have a half dozen of these also, they are not Vig mags. I have those as well and Vig mags are slightly bigger than MP40 mags and marked on the front.

Whoever made these, they work well.
 
Those mags are from the Luxembourg Sola Super. Unlike Vigneron mags that usually need to be modified to work in an MP40, these mags are exact copies of original MP40 mags and work unmodified. The only visible difference is the lack of the rectangular notch on the back for the loading tool and no markings of any kind.
 
In the Special Forces weapon pool Fort Bragg May1970 there were 1000s of unmarked MP-40 magazines apparently a CIA contract. BILL
