Identify Iron Curtain 7.62 ammo in sealed can?
Can of 440 cartridges, 7.62. I don't remember if this was 7.62x54R, or 7.62x39. Can anyone tell from the external markings on the can which it is?

Based on the article at this link:
Decoding Soviet Military Surplus Ammunition Labels
How to read the Russian markings on 'spam can' packages of the 7.62x54mmR rifle cartridge."I say it is 762.54R made in 1980 light ball mild steel core. I'm just going by what is in the article above.
