Shot shells in Lugers?

Just to add some input on the shot shells. Many years ago somebody gave me a handful they had found at a relatives house. They were for a .45 auto, all brass, folded over and crimped. Same shape as ball ammo. They say .45 ACP shot R-P. on the bottom Someone once told me they were given to air crews if they had to bail out to hunt with if needed as well as ball ammo. How true that is I don't know.
Steve,
