That round is way to big to be 7.62x39.

accroding to "ak-47.net/ammo/headstamps.html" No. 21 is either Hungary or Poland.

Yes the ammo does look like the above pic. Thanks for the info hbean on the 21 location.

The direction of the 79 is the important factor in determining if it's Polish or Hungarian. Silver case? Should be grayish lacquered steel.

MFS, but the silver cases is odd.

Might just be a clear lacquer over zinc phosphate per the norm.

all the MFS ammo ive shot has had the silver color to it

remember different plants used different things even the same plant and same year could have changes to it

the current "MFS" is actually repacked Barnaul from Russia with zinc plated cases.

Real MFS is made at plant 21 in Hungary; silver cases are odd for plant 21.

It was sold in plain white boxes a few years ago, it was re-bulleted with lead core.
