Milsurp Ammunition Confirmation

[89Buffalo]

I bought this years ago and need a confirmation of what/where it came from. I believe it is 440 rounds 7.62x54r, heavy ball, steel core, made in 1975, with powder made in 1974. Possibly Romanian? Does anyone know if it is lacquer or copper cased or what the projectile weight is?

Top Left: 762DPSz GSZ
Bottom Left: 440 db and a silver over yellow paint

Top Right: 15-21
Middle Right: 75-VII
Bottom Right: VT 7/74 51

Standard Com Block tin.

Thank you

Yes Sir. I did figure it out and the photo is posted. Thank you for your reply.

The “Z”s would be unusual for Romanian. Polish, maybe? Or Czech?

…or Hungarian??

The blue over yellow are the Ukrainian colors... made in the Ukraine (?)...

[Patrick Chadwick]

Ukraine? - Then it ought to be Cyrillic lettering?

It is silver over yellow.
I believe you have 440 rounds of Hungarian steel-cored heavy ball.

I have a can of linked Hungarian heavy ball x54r. I will look at my markings to see what they are.
