Has the box been kept?
That will help in this identification.
Might be a possible reason for the extraction difficulties.
The case looks like it's jamming in the rifling and being mashed about when loaded by the action.
My 2c worth.

Either that or its not recoiling far enough to eject and the empty is being reloaded at a angle as the bolt trys to go back into battery. Happens in my 10/22 running subs if its not cleaned every 200 rounds.
