It looks like two new Winchester Short Magnum rounds....cant tell w/o seeing the base/primer. Definately, the one on the right is not 7.62mm x 51mm .(.308 cal.) NATO...the cartridge is too fat.(.308 cal.)

Her fingers and head may be fat enough to distort the size perspective. The round on the left looks like it might a .223, and the one on the right a .308....

I'm guessing .223/ 5.56. way too short to be .308, neck and seating depth are all wrong for 7.62x54r. most WSM rounds are alot fatter in the base and have a much sharper angle on the shoulder- besides, who'd have WSM rounds over there?
