Hmm, I reckon you have some m93 cartridges there...
P.A.M. and P.A.B. are Romanian codes. P.A.B. comes from Pumitra Societate Anonima din Brasov but unfortunately I don't know exactly what P.A.M stands for.
H is from Hirtenberger Patronenfabrik - Austria
K&C is from Patronenfabrik Keller & Co - Austria

"Pumitra Societate Anonima din Brasov" lol . On romanian cases PA or P.A. always stands for Pirotehnia Armatei the other letter marks the producer of the brass as Romania didn't produce brass until late in the inter war era. The only brass manufacturer known, by me, is "Compagnie Francaise des Muntions" and the cases made with brass from them are marked P.A.C. Unfortunately I don't know what the other letters stand for, I have encountered on romanian M93 cases (6,5x53r) the following markings PAB, P.A.I., P.A.R., PAH, P.A.M., P.A.F., PAA .

Oh I have the info on the markings from "Descrierea conservarea si ingrijirea Armei Md.1893 si revolverului Md.1896" published in 1906
