    5.56 ammunition questions

    I recently bought a few hundred rounds of mixed headstamp 5.56 ammunition front a tenant. I'm trying to figure out what it is. Some of it was easily identifiable green tip. Some had a RORG headstamp. IMG_0008.jpg

    I googled it and it appears to be British SS109. Am I correct?

    There's was also some LC headstamp without the tip painted green.

    I'm not sure what this is. Can anyone shed some light?

    TIA.

    Edit: Sorry but it looks like I reversed the pictures.
