Last of MF Ball Mk 7

For interest, this is a 32 Rd carton of MF 1962 Mk 7 which was the last dated 303 Ball ammunition made at Footscray, Australia. There was no MF 1961 made and I believe the 1962 ammunition was made for the Cadets as they still used 303 rifles. The packet is interesting as it has no wrap around label with particulars and date and is the same as that used for 7.62 L2A2 with the single cutout to open. The only identity on the carton is Ball 303 Mk 7 stamped on top and front.
