303 British. The only reference I could find to an AE headstamp is from a pre indepence Israeli clandestine facility that started up in 1944.
Thanks in advance.

I had some of those years ago. Portuguese comes to mind, but I could be wrong.

Correct! "The Cartridge Guide", Ian V. Hogg, pages 54 illustration #59, and 58 Monogram. Arsenal do Ejercito, Lisbon, Portugal.

The things I find when re organizing. Just found a case of hxp 69 mk7z 303 ammo. Maybe I need to buy a no4 mk2?

Sounds like a good enough reason to me. How else would you get rid of the ammo? Shipping costs too much and too much hassle.

Of course you do.
