Hmmm, I told my family the ww2 buffs on ingo would have this identified in 5 minutes. :-)
This seems to be a manufactured round and not a simple cast bullet. the writing maybe looks Japanese? the other full rounds with it are Japanese but they were 7.7 jap and this appears to be closer to 50 caliber.

You have the bullet on the left. Apparently it's Italian. I don't find it unusual to be made in Belgium because they didn't put all their bullets in one basket during the war. Enjoy your search.
