Old or vintage green cardboard boxes. The case head says ‘308W’ @ 12 o’clock, two circles ‘o’ about 3/64” in diameter @ 3 & 9 o’c, with ‘82’ @ 6.

There is red sealant around the primers. I have red with black sealant around the primer may indicate a corrosive or slightly corrosive primer. Was thinking this may be pre-Sellier & Bellot ammo made before Czechoslovakia could export ammunition.

Corrosive? Not sure, but would doubt it with the 82 manufacturing date.
