U.S. 30/06 ammo was corrosive up to about 1954. However the FN headstamp I believe is Frabrique national, a European brand, and may not be corrosive ????
yes, and not easily reloadable.
By the manufacturer's headstamp (usually "LC" or "ADCOM") and the presence of the NATO headstamp (vs. the older M193, which did not have this).Additionally, there will be a green coloured ring around the projectile (although this may sometimes wear off over time).

Yes, Taiwanese from Kao Hsiung, Taiwan, is corrosive.
FA is the headstamp code for Frankford Arsenal in Frankford, Pennsylvania. 52 was the year of manufacture.
Measure it, compare it to other known cartridges. Most military ammo is not marked wit the caliber/
The year and headstamp (Remington Arms) are not particularly uncommon... the caliber of the round would be needed in order to determine the rarity.
There's a number of ways. Extractor marks on the brass from previous use, different coloured wax than what the original manufacturer uses, original headstamp grinded out for a new headstamp. Best way to know for sure is simply to know the source of your ammo. There are companies out there (such as Georgia Arms) who sell reloads exclusively. Order from them, and you know you're getting reloads on once fired brass.
No,it is non-corrosive.it was made by Winchester in 1957.most American made ammo from 53 up was non-corrosive.
There should be a headstamp identifying the manufacturer on the rear of the casing. Normally, the calibre of the round would also be printed here, but some manufacturer's do not do this. See related link.
