It means that the powder charge in these cartridges are loaded for use in the Parabellum pistol.....carbine cartidges were loaded with a heavier charge to insure function with the increased mass of the forearm and barrel of the carbine. This ammo would be safe (in it's day - dont shoot it now! too valuable!) in the carbine, but might not cycle the action.
