Hard solder has high Ag-content often up to 40 %.
This gives the strength.
Your left one has no Ag, right one 3%. Thus, I would assume they are soft solder. Also their application in electronic parts points into this direction.
That said, probably you can use them very well for dial feet or hands or soldering a threaded crown tube, but I would not solder lugs in a 3646 with them.

Finally I found one Silix 6154 case. Beat up, but it's almost to my liking. Didn't just buy yet, fingers crossed. Hope I will

I may assume that it has an ingeniously unique 2-piece CB - a solid cover is snapped on a an engraved display CB.

Probably. I'll ask the guy who's selling it.

Thanks Emilio. I have to find out if the threads are intact. I'll let you know if I need that CB of yours.
