Just got a 100 rds. of .308 and it's a mixed bag. Here are the headstamps. TIA.

TZ 70's - 80's prod
WCC (Winchester?)
RA w/NATO stamp
SMI w/NATO stamp 74-76 prod
TZZ 70's
FN w/NATO stamp 70's
FNM (Portugal?) 70's
7.62 that's it.
Look's like a KN/UK Late 60's to 70's prod. Letter's appear Greek.

Describe the round with just "7.62" in the headstamp. If the primer seal is orange, it's Yugo. If it does not have an orange seal, post a pic if possible.

Here's the pic. There's no primer sealant and it has the three notches like the Greek HXP. Other than that it looks like any standard mil-surp round.
Also here's a pic of the rounds I thought might be greek. The later ones have just the year stamp, the earlier ones have a what appears to be the month and year. Has a different primer on the older rounds also.

Definately not hebrew, and I don't believe it's greek. I'd say cryllic, I belive it to be PRVI...made in Sebia.

my guess..Cyrllic also.
