Yet another what ammo is this

[mattpiloto]

Ok, I give up. I've gotten a box of milsurp ammo and have searched all over to try and id it. I've found a few that I know are .303 british, and some 7mm mauser, but the vast majority (about 60 rounds or so) are all this:





These are the 3 different markings on the cases. So, once you've all finished laughing as I'm sure this is an easy one, what are they?

I think I might have some combloc 8mm Mauser with a similar headstamp.

Looks like the Yugo 8mm Mauser I was shooting this weekend.

The FNM is Portugese.

Could that be the star of David on two?

Srar hs is Czech. Bar means single flash hole Berdan primer.

Looks like 8mm Mauser to me. Micrometer the bullet diameter. It should be approximately .323".

Czech and Portuguese 8x57.

FNM is Portuguese headstamp, the cartridge appears to be .303 British, which would make sense as they still had the Lewis Guns and Vickers Guns that they got during the Great War (nice to see some people have taste, even if only from poverty!)
The others are 7.92x57, or 8mm Mauser, Czech make.
