Ruger Mark I magazine question

Can the original (pre-1971) Ruger Mark I factory 9-round magazines be configured to work in a later model (1976) Mark I Standard?

I'm not sure what year it started but there's lots of variations even of the original Mark 1. If the magazine is slotted on both sides with a keyhole cut near the bottom, on both sides, it can be used with both grip frames. You just need to reverse the button using the keyhole cut. If the Magazine is slotted only on one side it can only be used in the early original grip frame.

I hope this helps.
