I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search but you can only go back 30 days.

Does the Prvi M855 equivalent actually have the penetrator core or is it an all lead core bullet?

It does have the penetrator core. And it doesnt really matter if it doesnt have the same powder, as long as it has the same velocity and the bullet performs the same.
It's good ammo.

It's the real deal.... tar-sealed SS109 projectile, M855 pressure, crimped and sealed primers.

A big +1 for Prvi M855. Their M193 is hot stuff too. If you like mil-grade 5.56mm ammo (and I do), both of these are hard to beat.

I didn't think it had the penetrator core, but used a mild steel jacket for better penetration.  I didn't think foreign ammo with penetrators was importable for "sporting purpose" sales.

I may have to pull a bullet and disect it to be sure.

Well the Prvi M855 load definitely has a steel core.  Maybe since M855 is not considered AP here in America it has no restrictions on importing as well.  Prvi also loads a 62 grain lead core bullet, but all of those are copper jacketed as far as I know......
