The cast bullets are Lyman #358429, the Keith bullet. They could be home or commercially cast, no way to tell the difference. They just happen to be in a Hornady box.
Don't worry about trying to clean the Lead Oxide off of them. First it isn't worth the trouble, and second, it has lubricating properties of its' own! Instead just buy a bottle of Lee "Liquid Alox" and coat the bullets as-is following the instructions on the bottle.

I dumped them in the red Hornady box when I got home. The box they were in originally was in bad shape due to age.
The lead cast bullets are prelubed. They're old but there is a green wax in the grease ring on the bullets. The grey coloring is mostly oxidized dried wax/lube. I think they're fine to shoot as is.
