Are the magazines different for 300 blk vs 5.56 NATO? Thanks

The only difference is the barrel. Upper and lower receivers, handguards, bolt carrier group, trigger, etc. Just a different barrel.

The only slight difference I've seen is that the 20 round Pmags don't feed as well without slight modification (filing the inside rails a little).
Personally I like using Emags, as they work fine and the different look makes sure I don't get them mixed up with my 5.56 mags and guns.

Otherwise everything but the barrel and it's muzzle device threads (being 308 it uses 5/8-24 threads instead of the 5.56's 1/2-28 threads) is the same.
