Light blue touch paper and retire immediately?
Seiously, the first two characters that look vaguely like the Greek pi are 99, so you're off to a good start. As for the rest...

Yippee! Finally someone who can work it all out!
Now I can give my eyes a rest - I need a magnifying glass to look at Kanji characters!

Here is what a box of T99 standard ammo pack looks like. Some of the characters are the same as on your box.

Well I hope Accurifle can come up with the full translation for this. Those Kanjis are real eyeball-busters. I don't get much further than the fairly obvious partial info that it's a 15-pound pack of Type 99 ammo.

Hello! Here is Accurifle.
This says:
Type 99 Light Machine Gun Ammunition
Type 99 Normal Live Ammo
Fifteen rounds
Some of these Kanji characters used are a bit old and sometimes hard to read. When it happens, please excuse me.
