Trench art train

[zephyr4]

This is a modern piece of trench art not sure where from, coins are dated 1980 the small cases are 7.62 and the larger case is marked 20mm k.57 with a ZI mark on the side.

The 7.62 cases are South African made. What is the marking at the top of the visible 7.62 headstamp? I can't see it very well.

Markings are A73 7.62 R1 M1 the case on top marked FNM 77-19 and a small circle with a cross in.

Just found the coins on google they are from Zimbabwe

With the British 20mm and SA 7.62 I was thinking Rhodesia. With the Portuguese headstamp and the coins that is almost certain. Portuguese 7.62 ammunition was supplied to Rhodesia.
