I have some more old ammo but really do not know too much about it other than it is .303 British and what the box says. Head stamped FN 50. Is this tracer ammo?217371

Yes, that is daylight tracer, as opposed to subdued tracer for night use, loaded for BREN gun.

Yep, like it says on the box. Light condition tracer.

Thank you for the replies and responses in IDing this ammo. I have a few hundred rounds of it so I may shoot some just to see if it still goes bang and leaves a tracer trail.

Pull a few.to access the powder and primer state. I had a pile of FN 174gr ball ammo, good ammo and accurate. But just to be cautious, it is surplus and may be degraded. Hang fires will ruin scores and squibs ruin your day. Could not imagine a tracer squib.
Be safe
