Is all Lapua brass created equal?

I have a couple hundred pieces of Lapua 308 brass that started life as factory subsonic rounds. The case heads are stained blue.

Is this the same brass that's used in regular Lapua ammo and their reloading brass? Am I good-to-go on reloading this brass with super sonic rounds? Wouldn't think it would be different but better to double check.

I've never shot their subsonic loads, so I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing it's the same brass and they've just marked it blue, so people question what it is that they're about to shoot.
