Does this look like a magnesium shortage?

Can't quite figure out what is going on with my tomato plant. From what I have read it is a nutrient shortage? These are for the most part on the bottom of the plant. I am using a TopsyTurvy. Thanks for any help.

The leaf on the left looks like it may be a bit magnesium deficient.
I cannot see it on the leaf on the right. That looks more like an
insect has chewed on it.

As often as you must be watering a topsy turvy, I would just sprinkle
a teaspoon of epsom salt on top of the soil. Water will wash it in.
