7.92x57mm Mauser - BPD 953 Info Required

[EagleEyes]

Hi all,
I’ve just picked up a 5 round charger clip of 7.92x57mm Mauser ammunition for my collection and was wondering if anybody could help me identify these rounds and give me the manufacturer & usage?
I’ve attached some pictures of the: primer + headstamp, head / projectile & full round.

Round
Case: Brass
Head: Green Tip, Copper Jacket with Steel Core
Headstamp: BPD 953

Cheers

Thanks blackwatch,
As the round is Italian I presume the projectile is Armour Piercing.
Cheers

This is an armour piercing round, probably made on contract for Egypt.

They also loaded Ball, tracer and dummy.
