AK74 Mag I.D.

Hello Experts,
I've got an AK mag that I believe is a 5.45x39, 10rnd piece but don't know its country of origin. It's ribbed but there are no stampings anywhere. The floorplate has two spring loaded buttons. The larger side plate is smooth like some AK47 European makes. The side of the mag has three concave ribs. One large and two small. Also, is there a diff between a Krink mag(in .223) and a 74(in 5.45)? Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much.
Post quality photos of the mag. Our members might be able to identify it.

Is one of these options any better than the other?

IMHO, a East German mag in 5.45 x 39, would be worth more money than a Roumanian in 5.56 x 45. I don't know about function wise? Never owned, or shot either one.
