Blanks

I would say that you have an original box of OFN Nigerian military blanks that was partially full and the remainder of the Igman blanks have been added to fill the box. It is quite possible that this was done by a movie company.

The box is clearly an original OFN military box as apart from the name it has the date and Lot number on it. It is interesting that they refer to them as "Star" blanks, a term also used by FN.
