This section has distinct sulfide veins with occasional metal blebs caught in the flow.  This is a fine grained meteorite.

NWA 725 Acapulcoite -> Winonaite

NWA 725 Acapulcoite  (Winonaite)

 

We see chondrules, relict chondrules and a well metamorphosed matrix.  The texture is like a type 5 or 6 chondrite.  This appears similar to the thin section shown in Lauretta & Killgore pp. 232–235 as NWA 1054 Winonaite though NWA 1054 is now classified as an acapulcoite.

NWA 2871 Acapulcoite
- paired with NWA 2989, 2656, 2714, 2866, 2699

 

These mineral grains are comparable in size to those of Acapulco in Lauretta & Killgore pp. 208-211.
