I would bet they are shot cartridges, similar to the .22 "Rat/Snake shot" loaded today. The "bullets" are probably wood.

Without dimensions it is hard to tell,

The tall green one appears to be a 9mm rimfire shot shell....

They look like some of the shotshells for the 9mm Flobert Garden Guns

The lower rounds with card wads could be blanks, but the weight will decide that. All the others, as stated above, are shot rounds.

Top left is 9mm Flobert RF shot, rest look like 32 RF long, top are shot.

The wooden "bullets" are actually thin-walled wooden shot containers. As they leave a rifled barrel, they break up and the shot pattern goes through the cloud of sawdust to the target.

Used to make .44-40 the same way in Canada, many moons ago.
