The two at left look like bore gauge slug cartridges - perhaps 10-Bore ?
Didn`t you look for head stamps ?

The third bullet from the left is probably .577 bore. I used to have quite a few of them in my collection.

I believe the center cartridge looks like it has a "paper patched" cast lead bullet. I suspect it has been reloaded. It would be interesting if the reloading tools are still around.

Hi,

These are original cartridges manufactured by Kynoch. The paper patch was always there . I doubt if these cartridges were ever reloaded.
