Yep, that's the old run stuff from several years ago. I found several hundred rounds of it a few months ago and bought all the guy had - so much in fact, I sold 200 rounds I think (kept plenty). I wasn't aware of any new production 455 from Hornady or Fiocchi in the last few years. $40 per box was a steal on yours. Good job on that purchase.
The Eley name is a common mistake. When Colt stamped their New Service revolvers, they stamped them Eley because the test ammo they used was manufactured and head-stamped Eley. I think that's how I remember the story. If Colt can make the mistake, I think any of us should be able to.
Congrats on your ammo find,
