Any thoughts on these two “pope like” bullets? Solid base, measure about 0.51” x 1.06”

Both look like they were fired from a carbine. Need to see the bases, but the one on the right looks like a Gardner.

Some fellow, who may have posted Cosmo Type IIs here a long time ago, has been selling similar looking ones recently on ebay as dug in Louisiana

My guess is they are some sort of post war .50 caliber bullet for breechloaders
