Those are .303 blanks and should not be messed with especially after being in the ground so long. The charge inside is likely to be cordite 5/2, which is a mixture of nitro glicerine and guncotton disolved in acetone and then extrude into a tubular form, the nitro glycerine has been known to separate out after being stored incorrectly, and nitro will explode at the slightest spark or bang, what else would you expect to find on an old army range that would be of any value, go back to taking pictures you'l live longer.
