if I removed the magazine disconnect device from the MKIII and substituted the Tandem Cross hammer bushing to take up the extra space, could I use MKII magazines in the pistol?

No. The MKII uses a heel catch to hold the magazine and the MKIII has a push button release under the trigger guard. Now if you were to cut the notch in the MKII you may be abe to get it to work.

Not a trigger quality issue...ease of assembly issue and the deletion of a question no one ever asked IMO.

Why would MKII magazines have a cutout for a nonexistent future thumb magazine release?
new ones might have the cut out. I'll have to go in my cabinet and see what is there. I certainly could be mistaken. My guess is any new Ruger mag would have the cut out. I have some I got a few years back, so - I'll check it out and report back.
I looked at the ones in my MK2 and none of the 4 have a cutout for a thumb release. I figured the new ones would, but they don't. Two of the mags I think are original to the MK2, two I got off e-bay a few years ago OEM, in original packaging. Now I'm wondering if the base plates might be a little different too, but don't know.
