I picked up a couple magazines in a trade that I'm not sure what they are. One of them is labeled Ruger 12 Round 9mm and the other is nearly identical. Therefore, I thought I would come here and see if any of you can help me identify them. Below, are pics, and if necessary, I'll gladly take measurements or even more pics of specific areas if you want or need.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

They look similar to P89 mags but the one with the bent floor plate lacks the notch for the mag release to lock into and the other one lacks the cut out for the slide lock. The crease in side appears to be there to limit capacity, like was done on P944 mags to reduce capacity from 11 to 10 rounds, maybe for some location with a 12 round limit. I don't think they would work in any Ruger, unless they fit an early P85, they could be aftermarket.
 
Interesting. I need to actually load it up and verify loaded round count. I was hoping the yellow label above was correct and it was actually a Ruger of some sort, but it's not looking like it is a Ruger Mag.

Anyone else have any thoughts on what they might be?

Neither appears to be cut for a push-button mag catch, so they would seem to be for a pistol with a European style (on the butt) mag catch.
 
9x19 has a good idea.

Not ruger though for sure.

Good luck,

You can always put them on gunbroker. Someone will know what you got and buy. The market is crazy right now.
 
Not Ruger, or even name brand guns. The mag with the round hole in the body on its right hand side fits the Jennings Nine and Jimenez JA-9 pistol. I think the other mag fits the Jennings 59 which used a different style mag release but is otherwise identical. Put 'em on Fleabay, people will pay big bucks for them.

This was exactly what I found after I quit trying to latch it up to a Ruger of some kind. . I just hadn't been able to get back here to report.

Any idea what this one might be. I don't think it's a Ruger either.

Gosh, I just got a couple JA nine's and just now noticed the mags with the bend and thought I had seen one on this forum. Now I see someone else beat me to it. The one is definitely a JA Nine though.
