"Whatsit" ?
The auction description said "appears to be .32 auto." There was no pic of a cartridge, just the boxes. It ain't .32 auto, that much is certain. I haven't run across the specs of these rounds, despite searching quite a bit. Seems like it's for a semi-auto...but what?
D of projectile at rim = 7.82 mm OAL = 1.188" Case L = 0.773" Case D at rim = 0.330 Case D just ahead of Rim groove = 0.332 Rim D = 0.331" I pulled one bullet from its Berdan primed steel case, projectile is steel jacket over lead core, 0.566" L. Head stamp pic not a roaring success, sorry, but it's VE (L), FY (R), 5 + backwards/upside down C (T), and a European "1" (B).
