Hi there, because they all stick to a magnet to some degree I would assume that they are all have a steel core to some degree making them technically armour piercing. You could try contacting your local firearms licensing department via email including a picture so that they can see the condition of the bullets to show that they would not be of use to anyone and that there are of world war 2 era (especially the incendiary as the compound as it has done its job and ignited on impact) and ask if you could keep them or would they want you to hand them in. Doesn't cost anything to ask!.
