LC = Lake City. 92 = 1992 year manufacture. Cross and circle means it's NATO. Which means it should be M855 or SS109. Have you tried a magnet on the bullet?

sore shoulder, the tip is slightly magnetic.
I fired off a round and didn't get anything but a large muzzle flash....no tracer, no starburst.

Tracer is red or orange tip, and usually will just barely ignite inside 25m or so.

IF it's magnetic its m855 with a bad paint job.
