DWM 12 K 8:

The blunt flat-head is correct. These were the first design, later replaced by the round nose version because of feeding problems in the Trommelmagazin with flat nose rounds.

So the box has 4 original cartrigdes in it, the rest dates from WWI, but was added to the box later, not originally.

They are all german rounds. No idea of the value, though. I paid about 3 USD for a single unfired 1917 DWM cartridge last year.
