Danish Krag ?

I think this is Danish Krag ammo but I'm not sure what the yellow tip means. Any information is appreciated.

What you actually have is Soviet-made 7.62x54R heavy ball ammo that was captured and repacked by Finland.
 
Enclosed is a picture of some more Russian ammo I came across with a black/red tip. My first thoughts are armor piercer/tracer rounds, is this correct? Also enclosed is a picture of a round I'm not sure what it is my first thouhts were 8mm Lebel but I don't think so. It measures around 8.33X55.40mm and appears to have an Norwegian Lion on the head stamp. Any info on this one would be appreciated.
Thanks

The 7.62 x 54mm black over red tip round is the 7.62mm B-32 Armour Piercing Incendiary. The other round is an 8mm Hungarian Mannlicher made at the State Ammunition Factory, Kazanluk, Bulgaria in 1939. I think the designation for this round is 'Patronnyi Mannikera cal.8mm S M34'
