My google fu leads me to believe this to be .303 Brittish Machine gun Ammo according to the Mk 8z designation, but not from 1985? Didn't see that headstamp either... Bren ammo? thoughts?

In those days it was operating under the name FOMU - Arms and Ammunition Factory Uzice involved in shotgun Ammunition manufacture. The factory had developed pistol and revolver Ammunition production by the year 1938. This factory has produced .303 cartridges in... Ball, Mk 7, 7Z , 8 and 8Z and various sporting loads. Since the break up of Yugoslavia the factory is in Serbia and Ammunition is sold in boxes that have the Wolf brand... Information from Michael Douglas who also took the box Photos. "

Z- non cordite powder.
85, made in 1985.
Made for machine guns with the boattaik bullet. Rifle amm is MkVII, 174 gr flat base.
Boattail ammo will not shoot well out of Enfields that have mostly been shot with cordite rounds.
