Need Help Identifying this 7.62 Ammo!

[Fire Ant]

A friend inherited some ammo recently and passed it on to me as he does not shoot rifles. It looks possibly like surplus ammo but I was wondering if anyone knows what type or manufacture. I am not too familiar with surplus and there is no name on the headstamp or box. I'm wondering if it's corrosive. Looks like this:

Headstamps...

So...South African?
Thanks for the reply!

Just want to confirm whether this ammo is corrosive or not. Vid link posted by Juster above says it is but I saw an old post from Target Sports advertising very similar ammo with the same head stamp and stating it is non-corrosive...

Any confirmation/clarification would be appreciated!

R is the standard SA letter, like C in Canada or M in the USA. Their .303 Brit was corrosive. I've seen both sides, that their 7.62mm NATO is non-corrosive but others saying that it is. I'll keep digging.

When in doubt...

non-corrosive.

South African. I still have some of that stuff. Good ammo and accurate IMO. Capable of shooting a 5 shot cloverleaf at 100 m out of my Tikka T3 with a 4X scope. Wish it was still around at the price I paid. Dont think it's corrosive, never cleaned as such.

Thanks for all the input fellas! I thought the "berdian" primers were non-corrosive but some say they are a little.
