Anyone know what the "A" denotes?

Probably just the packaging.

Could it be that it is on stripper clips, and not the normal 20 round package?

I think on some of the Winchester .223 the A denoted that is was made for them by the Israelis

It means you need to send A case of it to me right away for proper investigation.

Don't worry though, I'll send back the strippers when I'm finished.

Does the cardboard insert hold 2 strippers or 3

Just wondering if the mil still uses the old 7 pocket Bandoliers?

Three strippers; no bandoliers in 900 round case.

My WAG is that Federal had a customer who spec'd an order for M193 on stripper clips and the "A" designated this distinction.
What you have "XM193A" is most likely part of a rejected lot from this order that was safe to shoot but not up to either Federal's or thier customer's spec for the order.
