Type 64?

Here is my big SLICS mystery round.
According to the label, it is a Chinese Type 64 round, essentially a rimless 7.65 ACP. The rounds are GM, with a brass case and primer, purple tip, and obviously loaded into ACP semi-rimless cases with the rims turned down. The headstamp is Romanian, as is the box. However, the label is in English, and there is no evidence that the label and round loading/modifications were done in Romania. Can anyone provide any info on the rounds or box label? I would like to know the origin and purpose of the rounds, and who might be using Chinese Type 64 pistols. To add; two boxes of this came out of England.
