You did pretty good, it's good stuff. Western Cartridge Corp (owned by Olin Corp who owns Winchester) is what it stands for. If it's got a circled plus on it, it's NATO (5.56) brass.

Quality brass. Every one I've seen has a crimped primer pocket.

Looks like some still have the crimps and some have already had the crimps removed. Look at the ones that look like they have ring around the primer, those are ones that have been crimped and the crimp not removed yet. If you look at them closely the primer pocket is pretty square with no bevel on it. When the crimp is removed it looks like the ones that look like the primer pocket is beveled a bit.
