I have two different headstamps in my collection of .308 brass. Do they designate different years of manufacture?

Well I would say the 308W was the earliest however I have never found definitive dating information. I have some that are stamped Lapua 7.62x51 and again, no idea of date.

NATO spec. Probably thicker brass and crimped primers.
