Antique Ammo Question

Dose anyone know what type of ammo this is?

The first is a .22 cap, primer only with no powder if I remember right. The second is pinfire.

I would guess that the bottom examples are 12mm pin-fire, like used in the French Lefaucheux Revolver of US Civil War fame. I agree that the top are various examples of original .22 CB/BB caps. The middle ones look to be 7mm pin-fire, used in small pocket guns. I don't think they are large enough to be 9mm pin-fire.
