These two are standard .38 Special, pretty common brass.
FC 38 SPL+P+
SPEER 38 SPL+P

These two are indeed for semi-auto pistols. AMU is the Army Marksmanship Unit, and they used .38 AMU and .38 SPL SR in their special 1911s. The SR is for SEMI-RIM. You could probably use them in a .38 Spl.
FEDERAL 38 AMU
WESTERN 38 SPL SR
