Never seen something like this before.
What numbers are stamped on the side?
Looks like the cavities have brought cut line that’s not like ideals I have. Possibly a custom cut mold out of different blocks?
the dual direction of the machining lines, make me think it's modified.
Maybe a paper-patch design?

No idea, does look interesting, like upside down crimp grooves.

Doesn't look like anything catalogued in my oldest Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. (#1, 2nd edition). Have never seen anything with a tapered lube groove so I also suspect that it's a rework of a different design.

It is labeled as a 358432
Definitely a rework. According to my old(est) Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, the 358432 is a 148 gr. .358 wadcutter with two grease grooves and a crimp groove.

That is definitely a Bubba'd boolit mold. The 358432 is a button nose wadcutter and that aint it.
..............From its overall appearance, and especially the drive band treatment, it appears like it may have been modified for use in a BP firearm. My guess would be a revolver.
