The calibre can tell you who the Afghans were associating with to obtain the ammunition. It may be one of several nationalities. The chamber measurement may narrow it down.
The US had a 50 cal for a time, off hand I can't remember the others.
I'm sure a google history could bring up other nations in the area.

I think what you picture is more design than writings.

I'll try, and determine the caliber. The picture is bad, but it is writing.
