Copper looking tip.... different from what the books picture... Pomeroy?
No neck staking or crimp present.

Pomeroy
Sorry to disappoint you, but that is a post war copper tipped hunting load.
After Kynoch, Eley, Nobels and the other ammunition companies joined to form Explosive Trades Ltd in 1919 surplus cases were used for commercial loads. I have similar rounds loaded on the VIIAA and also VIIB (Buckingham) headstamps.
Never the less, a nice headstamp.
