What do you know offhand about 7.62x39 incendiary cartridges - in terms of indentifying markings...?

I don't think the cartridge is marked, just the bullet tip.
There is some information here: [link]

Waren't Russian round had a green lacquerer finish ? I remember I picked up some of the casings after rifle salute on 9th of may.... I was still a little kid = /
Oh and I also have surplus 5.45x39 Russian rounds from '85... they have green casing as well....

There is a story that I`m not sure if it is fact or fiction, but the ciggarete factories have the potential to quickly change production to 7,62 bullets in the case of a war because they share the same size.

Pretty sure that would be fiction - the machinery and processes involved are very different. Of course any factory floor can have new machinery installed, and a lot of car factories built aircraft in WW2.
