A photo of the box would help. As it does seem confusing to me.That is what the box says. They are fully copper tipped.
No - SS197R is a hard Hornady "ballistic tip" 40gr with a blue plastic insert - technically a JSP or some people say they are JHP (doesn't matter) or BT. Red tip (SS196SR ) is the same thing but slightly slower discontinued ammo. Both are good ammo.That is what the box says. They are fully copper tipped.
SS197LF. And also SA197SRSS197SR
Not sure what you mean by "standard"?
My mistake, SS195LF and SS197SRSS197LF. And also SA197SR

Green tip with a very small HP is SS198LF 27 gr. This is okay to good ammo too. There is a 28gr version of this (SS195LF). These are aluminum core. They generally do not expand/fragment; the tip deforms a little but they mostly tumble in gel.
I have those and some others. Mostly the SS197SR, which is by far my preference in either a pistol or rifle. The BT bullets expand and fragment in gel.
Some prefer the 27/28 gr LF ammo. Fiocchi is the actual manufacturer of FN/Federal 5.7 ammo (I think the Speer GD too) and they are coming out with some 35gr ammo - for which desirability is TBD.
What you don't want is the American Eagle (AE5728A) TMJ - unless you want to practice failure drills due to the projectile coming loose in the case, which they are prone to do. I have some, but only use it for practice.
Your price is good; I would buy it if I didn't already have 10K+ rounds of 5.7 ammo that I bought 5+ years ago. GLWS.
I think the standard is lead free, the sr is the sport round.SS197LF. And also SA197SR
