Help Needed With Head Stamp ID

[PCCUSNRET]

Picked up a bunch of 9 x 19 brass with E.D.P Head Stamp. It doesn't have a crimp mark around primer pocket it that helps. I have done a Google search and wasn't able to come up with a positive ID. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I have a bunch of 7.62x39 small primer brass that I have loaded a few times. Seems that it is soft as rim is easily bent on ejection and some wont fit the shell holder.
Thats all I got.

What I've seen it's Greek brass?
E. D. P. is made by Olympic Arms & Ammunition SA, Acioupoli, Kulois of Greece - http://www.municion.org/9para/9para2.htm
I also have seen this that cases made by:
•Olympic Arms & Ammunition S. A., Acioupoli, Kulois, Greece (contract for Taiwan-NPA=National Police Administration) Cases made by Sellier & Bellot, Prague

Collectors believe the E.D.P -- note only two dots -- headstamped ammo was actually Iranian, sold through a Greek company that never made any cases of any caliber. I had access to thousands of E.D.P 9x19 cases a decade-or-so ago and can say, without doubt, they were the worst cases I'd ever encountered; with more split cases, no flash hole, too short cases, etc., than all other calibers I've encountered combined. Only encountered two E.D.P 7.62x54R 02 and three 7.92x57 02 (no E.D.P) cases, they were Berdan primed.

Thanks, I have already added them to my scrap bucket. I noticed the flash holes were way off center. Too bad because there was over 100 pieces.
