The Vintage soft point .303 ammo in my cabinet is head stamped with manufacture dates, as is the .303 soft point ammo by the OP in this thread
Having fired some if my vintage .303 soft point ammo dated 19(41) , 19(43) the cases do NOT have military primer crimps,,,
and are not Berdan primed ( corrosive military)
so not likely " repurposed military ammo ,,,
