Identify amunition

[smcelv]

Hi
The ammunition in the pictures was sold as genuine WWII.
Could you guys please help me identify the calibre (possibly 7.62) and if it could really have been used in WWII?

Thank you in advance.

These are British Radway Green made and 1977 dated. The circle with cross indicated NATO standard ammo. You are correct on the 7.62mm.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade
Much appreciated. So much for being told they were WWII ammo!

The gunmetal coloured snap links are also a useful indicator smcelv. Yikes - memories of kneeling full body weight (plus bergen and beltkit) on those in the middle of soggy training exercises. Yuk!
