WWII 45 ACP ammo

Lucky007
I have a sealed green metal tin of 600 rounds of 45 ACP ammo from WWII. The tin is marked "Do Not Use as a Food Container 600 cartridges cal .45 ball M1911 in Cartons Lot WCC 6486". Does this ammo have a collectors value above what 45 ACP FMJ commercial ammo would have? There is a current auction for a similar tin, but the can is configured differently and the lettering is also different. I believe that the tin I have is from the 1940's, but I need an expert opinion on the lot number.

    Western Cartridge Corp 45ACP FMJ:

    First non-corrosive lot number: 6375 (produced November 1952)

    If lot number is unavailable, the first year that would eliminate any doubt pertaining to the ammo being non-corrosive has the individual rounds headstamped WCC 53

    Best, Joe

    Sounds like the lot # I have is after the non-corrosive production. Thanks very much for giving me a date range and type for the ammo.
