These seven cartridges are very similar, but not alike.
Four have a bronze-ish colour tone to the bullet which has survived probably a century without tarnishing. I measure the bullets at .43cal (or 11mm) and the cases at 56mm (even 56.5mm). The headstamp has four characters, and I read S (rotate 1/4) A (rotate) perhaps 3 or 5 (rotate) perhaps 85. The case walls have not weathered as well as the bullets, and there are some subtle wrinkles.
The next two are very similar, but I measure the cases over 57mm.
The final one is a paper wrapped lead bullet, but longer overall than the others.
