I have found a few of the same and if I'm not mistaking, a 52cal sharps. My bullet book says "diameter: .535, length: .93, weight: 401.
 
I agree. Sharps. You can get some calipers to get good measurements and help you identify bullets. They are not expensive.
 
Here is a pretty good booklet that can help identify bullets.

If you can still find them, James and Dean Thomas' four volumes are the absolute best thing out there on bullets and guns from the civil war. But they have gotten real pricey.
