Corrosive .303 ammo?

[TCS-5]

Picked up this bandoleer today with ammo for $15. Pouch on left with lettering was opened some time ago and it's missing 1 stripper clip and 5 rnds. All other pouches looked to be unopened so there's 9 full stripper clips. Not real old stuff but I figured it was worth $15 anyway.

I opened the other pouches to see condition of cartridges. Mostly clean with a few spots of tarnish.

Bullets look copper clad but attract magnet. Radway Green Mk7 right?

Were they still using cordite in '49? I suspect the primers are corrosive at the least.
