4040PD mags in a 3913

Sorry. I'm a slow learner. So is it;-

A. 5900/5906 magazines will work in a normal 4006.
Or
B. 5900/5906 magazines will only work in a 4006TSW.

4006 magazines are hard to come by in Australia. Especially 10 rounders which I need to comply. However, I have got OEM and Mecgar 5906 magazines. I cannot test this myself at present as my 5006 and 4006 are stored at a dealers premises while I shift house.

Thanks.

Can anyone assist with this inquiry?

I just did some testing and am confused. The 17 round Mec-Gar mags and factory 5906 mags will not insert in my standard 4006. The 59 mags are squared off on the back corners and the 40 mags are more rounded, apparently just enough that the 59 mags won't insert. Oddly, those same mags will insert in my 4013TSW. I cannot speak to a 4006 TSW as I do not have one to try the mags in.

Summary
All 59 series mags I tried will go in the 4013TSW and lock in as well as the 4006 and 4013TSW mags of course.

Only the 4006 mags will fit in the 4006, the 4013 TSW mags will insert, but are not long enough to lock in.

The 4006 mags will not insert in the 59 frames because of the bump on those mags.

This is only my 4006, being the 4013 TSW works, it makes me wonder if various versions of the 4006 will work also.
