OH!

My apologies. I gave my brain a long weekend off...

In answer to your question, yes. The Hungarians manufactured both the earlier 8x50R and the 8x56R rounds at Csepel Arsenal located near Budapest. They may have manufactured it elsewhere, also.

The headstamp for ammo manufactured at Csepel is an intertwined AH in the 12 o'clock position and a year in the 6 o'clock position.
