Multicore solder specifications?

[w5tvw]

I have a pound spool of Mulicore solder I'm looking for info on!  It smells
odd when used and the flux doesn't work too well.  Numbers on end of spool
below:

Sn63    X32B, 21 swg guage

then numbers: D973/815

Anybody have any clues?

73,

Sandy W5TVW

I think I used that about 30 years ago.  If it's the same as I'm
remembering, it was an early attempt at a no-clean solder, ie it left very
little residue and did not require cleaning.  It didn't work for me and I
sent it back.  I think the flux wasn't aggressive enough for what we were
soldering:  I (my staff) would use a pound a week at the time.
