WWII magazines had spot-welded or riveted baseplates, modern ones are surface-welded. "Hybrid" lips are more compatible with modern bullet profiles than either of the earlier types.
Modern Colt, and by that I mean genuine Colt, magazines are every bit as good as any magazines down through the history of the pistol. They're just not the same as in "days of old."
