Um...
The last set of numbers refers to the cartrige length in millimeters. Do the cartriges appear to be the same length overall in a side-by-side comparison? What about the length of the fired cases? Is one almost a centimeter shorter than the other? If they all appear to be the same length, the 32 is a misprint! I'd be concerned about firing the 7.62x32 cartriges in a gun that was designed for 7.62x39 if the headstamp is NOT a misprint. It would be akin to firing .308 out of a .30-06.
The bullet would have to "jump" the 7mm's from the case to the begining of the rifling. This would usually cause the case to seperate or burst at the neck.
Do your fired 7.62x32 cartrige cases exhibit splitting bulging, or other deformation at the neck or shoulder of the case? This means they are trying to explode before the bullet has left the case, which would not be a good thing, at all. Again, if no evidence of deformation is noted, there may be a misprint of the designation on the boxes. Is there a # designation on the cartrige headstamp? does it match the # on the box? I've been around guns extensively for more than 30 years, and I'm not familiar with 7.62x32...But that doesn't mean much in todays rapidly growing market.

7.62x32?
Like also called "7.65 Mannlicher Carbine"?
I don't know where you would even find this ammo, Please tell me where.....
You may be able to chamber 7.62x32, but you will likely have a lot of hot gasses and burning powder blowback due to the shoulder not seating in the chamber. That's the least of your worries actually. The case could rupture and the whole receiver could blow. Don't put any ammo in your gun that's not specified for it.

7.62X39 is the ammunition that the AK-47 uses and is frequently chambered to. The 7.62X32 has the same diameter but the cartridge length itself is shorter. If your weapon shoots both kinds of ammo it is probably chambered for the slightly larger 7.62X39 which explains why the shorter round can still fit and properly function with the weapon.

They are so close, I would say there is no difference, except the price.
