These are magazines, not "clips". Almost no moder waepon uses a "clip", since they all use "magazines". The M-1 has a clip. Springfields, Enfields, and Mausers use "stripper clips".

Not even supposedly knowledgable folks seem to know this.

Gaaaah! I totally missed that. I was more interested in the 75-round part of things. The most rounds I've ever seen in a clip (properly speaking) is about 20. Some early machine guns fed rounds clipped into a rigid tray-like device, instead of a flexible belt.

BTW, AR-15s (can) use clips, as well. 5.56mm rounds are sometimes packed in 10 round (stipper) clips, for easy loading of the 20 and 30 round magazines. There's a little gadget that attaches to the back of the mag, to properly align the clip.
