FAL / L1A1 Magazines

How do you tell the difference between a metric and an inch magazine?

I've put around 300 rounds through my Century L1A1. It used inch parts with a metric reciever.

I'm having functioning problems I believe that are related to the mag.

Thanks,

Metric mags have the front locking lug punched out of the sheet metal.

Inch mags have a substantial lug welded on top of the sheet metal.
