I believe that it may be from a Scandinavian country.
Looks to be equal to M80.

Only hit I get from the database is Royal Ordnance Factory Steeton, West Yorkshire.

ETA: primer sealant color is correct, and scandinavian/euro would put 7,62, not 7.62, so it's an anglophile/western country.

Cool. I need to update my headstamp references.

Must have been intended for US/Western sales with the "7.62" marking.

Apparently it was sold by SGAMMO.com although I'm not sure if they were the sole distributor.
It's very good ammo...

ETA: The time frame is around 2019
