While every issue piece of equipment has an NSN (NATO Stock Number), not every item with an NSN is an issue item.
Some items with an NSN are foreign issue items, but are standardized for NATO, like the Magpul EMAG for the UK L85A2 and a black-windowed PMAG M3.
Other NSN items are for items that a unit can purchase with their own funds, but aren't in the supply system.
It's sometimes hard to sort them out, especially since lots of non "USGI" plastic magazines have an NSN.
