Barnaul was my favorite 5.45 back in the day. Lacquered steel cases, sealed at primer and case mouth, non-corrosive, accurate enough and 100% reliable. I have no experience with any 5.45 made in the past 5 years or so, but the ammunition you show should be good to go.

I had some of the blue box Sporting Rifle Ammunition of that vintage that was, I believe, 55 grain soft point. It would fail to feed every round in my CUR 2 purchased in 1997 that has been reliable with many thousand rounds.
You note that your blue box is 59 grain though but don't note whether its the soft point or not. I've shot lots of the Barnaul though and as mentioned by others its good quality. |

Both cases are FMJ 59 Grain. I would never buy any soft point or hollow point for my AK,too unreliable. |
