Magazine ID help?

7.62X54R

I'm usually good at identifying magazines but these two have me puzzled. The rifle one is marked E on right side other than that no markings. 30-06 ammo does not fit that well it is ok in length though so I'm thinking it is a magnum caliber like .300 Win mag. It does not look like a Remington 700 magazine.

The pistol mag appears to be .25 acp caliber and holds 8 rounds. It does not fit .22lr or .32acp ammo. It has no markings. The baseplate is metal not plastic. It is very similar to the Iver Johnson/Erma/American Arms type guns called like the PX or CX 22 or 25 or the TP 22 and TP25 type guns but those mags are generally marked and look slightly different.

the pistol mag reminds me very much of a walther ppk type, which was in fact made in .25acp

if not a walther, I'm thinking a competing copycat model of some kind, like Bersa, etc.

I haven't seen a magazine that exactly matches it in google image search... but it might be an aftermarket magazine for one of the various ppk style guns.
