I happen to have all five variations of the 30-round USGI magazine!
Wondering if the 'India' magazine could be an EPM, I decided to weigh them.
OG 1969 emerald green follower: 4.1 oz.
Black follower: 3.8 oz.
Light green follower: 4.0 oz.
Tan follower: 4.4 oz.
EPM: 4.3 oz.
A window PMAG M3 is: 5 oz., 5.3 oz. with the dust cover. 'Foxtrot' matches!
The lightest 'India' magazine in the report is 4.97 oz. I don't think 'India' is a USGI 30-rounder.
'Golf', 'Juliet' and 'Kilo' are in the correct range.
Further, the USMC released a report to National Review which TFB linked to that says that they tested the EPM in the M4, M16A4 and M27. The ATEC report says that 'Golf' and 'India' didn't fit in the M27.
They also mention that they tested against the legacy magazine, which I think is the tan follower mag.
I think that 'Juliet' is the EPM and 'Kilo' is the tan follower.
