    HELP REQUEST: Is this .45 ammo of military origin?

    I got two boxes of old .45 ACP ammo a a gift, a few days back. I found a similar box, which was labeled as government issue US-Army ammo, on an internet auction. Thse MATCH stamp on the second box throws me off though!









    The brass coloured cases have as inscription: WRA 45A.C.
    The silver coloured cases have as inscription: EC 43

    Similar box found through a google search:

    http://www.gunauction.com/search/dis...temnum=9453792

    I would be glad for any help regarding the origin of the ammunition.

    Thank's a lot!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
