I prefer the sharper curvature of 7.62mm mags in any AK. It's entirely possible (and likely exists, if not as a production sample then as a commercial variant) to have an AK74-styled rifle chambered for 7.62x39mm. Barrel and mag are all that's really required, I'm fairly certain the gas system is the same and the fire control parts haven't changed. Furniture is adaptable between rifle sizes and receiver types. Frankly I'm glad the G&G one comes with a 7.62mm mag, it looks more "AK-ish" to me.
