It don't fit. I had a kind gentleman send me a photo of a Bren mag (left) side by side to a pair of Charlton Automatic Rifle (an Enfield converted to self-loading operation) magazines (center and right), and you can clearly see how much shorter the Enfield magazine well is:

Not a conversion as simple as putting an MG13 mag in a Hakim, that's for sure. You also need a new follower without a holdopen. The Charlton mags were made on a different stamping die specifically for the Charlton.
