Definitely factory ammo, but if you said, I missed it; what are you planning to shoot this ammo in? Might encounter some problems, especially if your rifle chamer is standard .223, not 5.56 chambering on your rifle and even that is no guarantee.
I bought a batch of factory ammo from Midway that resulted in blown primers in a Bushmaster, which was factory chambered for 5.56.
The crimped primers are dead giveaway that your rounds are, indeed, loaded to GI specs, but be aware that they are loaded on the warm side compared to .223.
Here is what I learned about the issues.
