Whitsworth bullets?

[Dfx]

Found these other day thinking thete where kinda modern (still may be) but the only reason i kept them was i noticed the hexagon shape at the base of bullets. Unable to get any measurements. I know the Whitworth was hexagon shaped and still not 100% these are fired Whitsworth. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The M1841 Mississippi Rifle has 7 groove rifling and bullets fired in them have this hexagonal shape.

Thanks i have looked all over and even in a reference book.. hard to narrow down with accurate measurements.. i will look in that direction. Seem to short to be Whitworth
