Some measurements could help.  Or even just a random cartridge in the pic for scale.

7.62 NATO 5-rd clips for the M14?

Well, what ammo fits in them? Hard to tell without a scale reference.

That said, except for the "A" marking, they look just like a bunch of 7.62x51 clips I have here.

Reminds me of German 8mm Mauser clips.

ETA: I don’t think they came parkerized though.

Springfield '03?

I inherited a bandolier full of similar clips loaded with 30-06 M2 ball.

7.62 X 51mm UK FAL?  -- not that that would be any different from USGI M-14

U.S. made stripper clips for the 7.62x51mm cartridge for use in the M-14. Could also be used for the FAL, etc...

I am not sure what they are for. I could take a lot of educated guesses what they are not for...

M14 have the single dimple in the middle. Mauser has multiple out from the middle. .30-06 has three I think, one in the middle and two beside it on each side of the clip. IIRC our -06 strippers had the little metal end tabs too.

My first thought as well.  I just got rid of a few hundred rounds of old 30-06 loaded in these.
