Help identifying these magazines?

I know this the "CA handguns" forum, but I figured some of you might know what handgun these magazines fit. I picked them up at a gun show (Idaho) for $5, figuring I could use the parts for something. The only markings are "40 S&W - .357 SIG" on one side, and the stylized "FN" logo on the base pad. They are 14 round magazines.

Anybody?

Looks to be for the FN series of handguns, FNX/FNS in .40 obviously.

Here's a link to what you likely have:

I’ve purchased ammo long before having a gun that would shoot it but buying the magazines first is cool, too. Okay, maybe buying the magazines first is even cooler!

Lol. No plans to buy the gun, but at $5 I couldn't resist buying the magazines. My plan was to use the followers and springs for something else but now I'm not so sure.

Put them on gunbroker for $20 each.
Somebody will want them.

That's probably what I'm going to do.

The reason I bought them in the first place is because I needed springs, base pads, and followers for a couple of P-14 mag bodies I found in my parts bin. I hadn't built them out because Midway (and others) wanted more than I was willing to spend for the parts. So, when I saw these for $5, I took a chance to see if the parts would interchange. The springs and follower worked fine, but the base pads were too narrow. Midway has the base pads but they are ~$14/each. I decided to wait and contemplate whether I needed two more magazines for this gun bad enough to spend $30 on top of the $5 (I already have 6 from my IPSC competition days).

Here comes the serendipitous part - I was buying some parts for a different project on the Numrich website, and getting ready to check out. Before I did so, I thought to take a look at the "clearance" section to see if there was anything of interest to help get me to the Free Shipping threshold.

Lo and Behold - factory new ParaOrdnance P-13 mags were being cleared out for $9.99. Factory spring, follower, and base pad for $10...... nice!! I bought two, and will now attempt sell these magazines to make it a zero-sum upgrade.
