I've got some of the original 7.62 NATO Dim Starlight Tracer as it was call, pink/green tip, some of the ones pictured here, and a few of the newer IR tracer, purple tips.  Interesting stuff!

I bet that marker round has a minimum safe range.

Color codes for the XM276 dim tracer:
yellow over white
white over orange headstamp FA68
pink                                          FA68  - 550 yards
white over pink                         LC69 - 1100 yds
green over pink                        LC69 - 930 yds
green over white                      LC70 - GMCS bullet
green over white                      LC92 - GM bullet
purple                                      LC95 - M276

There is also a red over white and a white over red (Gene Scrantons book page 130.5)
Also orange with yellow stripe and orange over white with headstamps FA60 for random tests for the M62 trainer

The MMU (Man Marker Unit) uses a special bolt so that you can't load a real live round into the chamber.  It uses a 2 priming cartridge system that is the first to isolate the large amount of operational energy needed to cycle the weapon from the small amount of energy required for propelling the projectile which is primarily for force on force training.  With an average muzzle energy of less than 3 ft/lbs, which allows for a safe seperation distance of 1 meter, and having a typical accuracy of 1 in groups at 10 yds.  The isolated and contained rear primer expands the the MMR (man marking round) which functions the UTM blow back system.  This realisticly and reliably cycles the converted weapon.  Info from UTM world wide web site.
