      You are over thinking this. Ammo from WWI works just fine, five years is not a safety issue.
      It's not PTSD, it's nostalgia.

          I had about 500 Portuguese .308 Win rounds that looked just like that if not worst. I said "had" because there all down range now. Worked just fine. Just cosmetic. Just shoot it...

            I used to shoot 1938 turkish 8mm that was all tarnished an most went bang the first time . Cleaning it will only make it prettier, but will do nothing for functionality.
            CALGUNS DICTIONARY "FLIER": when a shooter wants to turn a 1 inch group to a half inch group because he flinched.

              No way to know for 100% certain but I would tumble 'em and shoot 'em.

                You took a risk purchasing 2nd hand ammo and this is the consequence... Slightly ugly but perfectly shootable ammo. You and your gun shouldn't stress about it. Clear your worries and then your gun when you're done.

                  Grab a piece of 0000 steel wool and give them a swipe, and they will clean right up. Might be faster than setting up the tumbler....

                    A lot of new factory will have the same discoloration. It's totally normal and safe to shoot.
