8mm Surplus Headstamps

Anybody identify this stuff?
First pic is three odd rounds found in the mix, looks like 7.62x51.
Pretty sure the last one is Israeli, second one is blurry but had the tiny star of David as well.
The red primer stuff looks almost copper case.

Correct on all counts, the third one is WW2 German 8x57mm made by Finower Industrie GmbH. Finow/Mark, Brandenburg.

Thanks for the reply, never thought of 7.65mm.
You are correct, the copper coloured stuff is steel.
By German do you think East German or maybe WW2 stuff?
mkrnel just answered my question.

Red primer seal on ww2 stuff is said to be AP/ steel core.
