Yep. That's the case head. The rim thickness, rim diameter, and body base diameter should all be the same. Many cartridges have these dimensions. 30-06Springfield, 308Win, 280Rem, 7MM-08Rem, 280Rem, 260Rem, 243Win, 22-250Rem, the list goes on and on. All of the these cartridges will fit the "standard" or "308" bolt face. Many belted magnums fit the "magnum" bolt face, and 223Rem and the like fit the "223" bolt face.

The case on the right has a lengthened area in front of the rim. I don't know why. Maybe it is one of those semi-balloon head cases?
