I was going through a box of mags and found these mixed in with my 1911 mags but am not sure what they are-

Looks to me like Beretta 92 or S&W 59.

I looks like an aftermarket P226 magazine. The backside probably doesn't have the zipper pattern of an old Sig mag.

Honestly, I think Mec-Gar used essentially the same design for so many different mags, albeit with different mag catch hole positions, that it's pretty tough to tell them apart if they're not marked or you can't compare them side by side. Beretta 92, SIG P226, CZ 75, Walther P99/PPQ mag bodies at minimum are all basically identical except for the locations of the catch holes, and in some cases, length. There's a dude over on waltherforums (goes by "imaoldfart") who has machined new holes into B92 and SIG P226 mags to make them work in his P99s and PPQs. I don't think he's done any CZ mags, but I'm pretty sure he could if he wanted to.

They look like the checkmate usgi Beretta mags to me.

By the location of the mag catch cutout, it looks like a P226 mag.

Beretta 92 or Sig P 226 mags. The first P226s used a modified 92 mag in the Army trials in the 80s.
After relooking at the pic P226 definitely
