Those are straight wall. The tapered hulls like win AA or rem nitro are nearly twice as thick at the base as they are at the mouth. And the different colored base wad in there is a separate piece of plastic. In the tapered hulls the base wad and hull walls are one piece, similar to metallic cartridges. The primer hole in the green hull looks a little small for a standard decapping pin. Have you tried to change the primer yet? This may be the only thing preventing reloading those hulls. If your press can remove the old primer and put a new one in you can use Winchester polyformed case data. If not, the red hull looks good.
I searched my Lyman #4 manual for the load I used for 00 buck and WAA12R wads with the petals cut off. I couldn't find that particular load. Lots of other loads with petals removed for 10, 16 and 20 ga. But not for 12. Must have been in another book. I will try to find the one I used.
