Bought a can of mixed ammo, 4 bandoleers, 2 of 54r stuff I can use, then 2 bandoleers of this, I assume its 30-06? all on 5rnd strippers.
Sorry for the big pic, wanted to make sure the headstamp came out.

I can't make nothing out in the picture.
You might need to retake it and post a clearer/brighter pic.

It's a military headstamp, (and not my specialty), but I can tell you the case was made in March of 1954. The letters denote the manufacture of the case TE=Cartoucherie de Toulouse, Toulouse, France and the P indicates which plant loaded it (the French system is kinda strange).

Provide a side view and dimensions, and you'll have a better chance of getting a proper ID.
