Here is a pict. of some ammo that I just bought for my kids 7mm Mauser. I assume the it is corrosive. Is it reloadable?

YOur pics do not work and even when I pasted them they did not show anything.

At any rate, I imagine it is Berdan primed, and even if not the cases are not fit for reloadinh. Brass does not have an infinite shelf life, as it hardens with time. New brass is very cheap and there is no reason to risk your safety to save $.25 on a brass case.

Also, if the box is unopened it would be worth some money and you could buy lots of new brass. Even if the box has been opened, it is still worth more than new ammo.

Safe to assume it is corrosive. I suspect it will have Berdan primers, but I never could understand anyone who says cases made for Berdan primers aren't reloadable-they are! RCBS sells a nice tool that'll dig them out so you can reprime them. I always just used water to pop them out.
