8.15mm C96 Mauser cartridge???

Sounds a bit like the 8mm Roth and/or 8mm Roth-Steyr round. Perhaps a version chambered in one of those calibres for Army acceptance or trials in Austria?

That site states -

Cartridge believed to be known as 'DWM Case No. 580', with a mouth diameter of 8.12mm and a case length of 25.2mm.
