Magpul doesn't actually ever make any of their Magpul PTS stuff, except maybe the CTR stock since it's really just a real steel one repackaged in a PTS box. The genuine MIAD grips and stuff were made by HK-based MS Infinity (who also made the official airsoft versions of the Falcon Ergo Grips, etc).
As for the PMAGs, there's the realcap (20/30 round) green label ones, made in cooperation with STAR, and there's the midcaps which only carry the Magpul PTS branding (dunno who actually makes them).
Given the price difference, I'd guess the STAR ones are the lower quality ones -- which is somewhat ironic considering they're supposed to be the real "professional training" ones.
Also the EB price for the STAR ones (~US$41 shipped for 5) kinda blows, since UNC has a box of 10 for US$55+ship
The choad chuggers over at Evike will also sell you the STAR ones piecemeal for $10 a pop, plus the outlandish UPS shipping.
