Default Belted Mag guys is this ok?

As a guideline I really don't have any need for the belted magnum brass but I'm a range scrounge of the worst sort and pick up everything I might be able to use or trade.

So I picked up these belted cases and at a quick glance said "self why would anybody just toss Weatherby brass"having noted those pretty round sholders. I get home and sort the bucket of stuff out and I look at the headstamp ,it says 7mm rem mag not 7mm Weatherby. So I grab my nearest book sure enough the Rem has angles and only Weatherby has radii just as I thought.

I guess my question is in the above case is this like fire forming a standard to an AI where the case head spaces at the neck base or was somebody taking too many chances with the wrong ammo.
