Hi,

I'm not familiar with a phrase 'MM' on these packages, the most common ones are labeled with 'mE', which is short for iron core (result of lead shortages, an iron core was placed in the bullet tip to save lead).

eem 56 is the ordnance code (eem) and the lot code (56) for by Selve-Kronbiegel-Dornheim AG in Soemmerda.

The 0,8/0,8 refers to the size of the powder grains in millimeters.
