Anyone know anything about surplus 7.5 French ammo?

That's all well and good, but I wasn't asking about the actions of the French government and politicians.

I was asking if anyone had examples of cowardice or a propensity to surrender by the men carrying these rifles

Why are streets in France lined with trees??? So the German army could walk in the shade....

Haha truth.

On the topic, I have found his book on the topic very informative.

Check here:

Headstamp Codes – International Ammunition Association

I ended up with some oddball rounds and I cant figure out what they are.

Headstamp:
TOP: 76
BOTTOM: 7.5
LEFT: SF
RIGHT: I
I found a pretty detailed page showing different rounds... problem is I found the same headstamp for two different rounds.
First, just the standard ball round showed this headstamp (only a headstamp pic) with a little primer sealer.
Second showed the same headstamp but this description showed the whole round, which has a black seal around the neck... this one was a tracer. But also a pinkish paint on the tip.
My rounds have the headstamp, the black neck sealant but no visible paint on the bullet.
Hopefully I can find some info... suppose I could always just shoot it and see if its the tracer
