Do CZ82 mags need to be adjusted for use in an 83?

Do the feed lips in 9x18 CZ82 mags need adjusting for use in a .380 CZ83?
Having some FT-feed issues with some used 82 mags in a .380 CZ83 that I think are mag related. These mags operate fine in an 82 with 9x18 ammo.

I have used new 83 mags in an 82 with good results. But I can't remember if I also tried using 82 mags in an 83.  :-\

Definitely worth trying some minor adjustments using a small adjustable wrench- if the bullet tip is ending up pointing up, spread 'em, if it's tail high, try closing the a little, most of the time I try making them parallel as a baseline. I've been fine tuning 2 problem children for the last 3 range days- got the Vis dialed in, but the p-64 still isn't cooperating :( If neither spreading or closing helps, some of 'em love a good ramp polish with a bikini wax!  Some just hate certain flavors of ammo, so try different kinds of ammo too. Good luck  :2huge

I thought they were the exact same cut / magazine, etc?

The lips were spread open just a bit causing a nose high round. A little heat and slight inward pressure made them 100%. Now if there is a difference or not between 82&83 mags, I don't know. All I know is my 82 mags required some tweaking to the lips.
