No head stamp info other than caliber? My guess is that it was Chinese manufactured.
Since products from China now incur an import tariff in the U.S., Chinese companies are attempting to avoid tariffs via subterfuge. Some clothing has been discovered to have been made in China, but the tags indicated it was made in Vietnam. The clothing was actually shipped from China to Vietnam, then shipped from Vietnam to the U.S. It would not surprise me to find ammo without a manufacturer head stamp to be an attempt to avoid import tariffs.
There is one other possibility. It might have been spook ammo. It is not uncommon for governments to have ammo produced that bears no manufacturer info, just caliber and possibly a production date. This sort of ammo is generally for clandestine uses.
