This should answer your question for you.

The word "anvil" suggest they are Boxer. Look at the primer. A Berdan primer is just a cup filled with explosive. the Boxer has an anvil in it. A metal fitting over the explosive.

Simply, boxer primers have the anvil in the primer cup, Berdan primers have the anvil on the cartridge case.
