Anyone familiar with .30 carbine ammo with a "7.62X33 WMN 59". Manufacture? Corrosive?

Thanks

The only two corrosive 30 carbine makers that I know of were the Chinese ( LC 52 headstamp in white boxes handstamped 7.62 ) and the French ( headstamped with 7.62 and VE , TE , or SFM . I am not aware of any of these using the "7.62 X 33 " ID codes .

Woops , I think you have read the letters upside down . It is NWM ( Nederlandische Waapen und Munitie Fabrik) , Dutch mfg , prob'ly non-corrosive .
