My suspicion is that it is, in fact SMG ammo, and was made in 1981 before being surplused out. A lot of it appears to have been sold several years back, and I do not recall a big complaint of blown 9mm pistols at that time.
The 228 is a strong pistol, but has an alloy frame. I would try it out in the heaviest all steel pistol that I had access to.
Just my .02, YMMV.

mugwump,
Let me translate The Reapers post for you, don't shoot it in your Sig.
Unless you are a shooting guru don't purchase ammo that you don't know what it is, no matter what the price.
I don't buy cheap beer and I don't shoot cheap ammo.
