Factory New or reloads?

Hi everybody. I would really like your expert opinions, please. I recently purchased some Lawman .380 ammo that was listed as factory new. To my eye, they seem to be reloads. I'm attaching three photos of some of the rounds. What do you think? Thank you!

Looks like factory to me. No scratches on case, no bulge at bullet seating, no "ring" around base from sizing die.
Is that corrosion on the cases??
I'd say it's corrosion. It won't just wipe off.
I have to agree, but that IS some nasty looking stuff. I sure hope the OP got it for some bargain basement price.
I would call it nasty stored factory/
Nothing that would keep the ammo from being used, just cosmetic. For sure factory ammo
Other than possible duds, hang fires and a dirty bore.... Had a box of Remington 300 Win ammo that looked like that, and gave the results that I mentioned. It could be just fine too...
Steel wool it smooth and shoot em
