I think Minenaz16 may be right.
I have a Carl Gustav M42 round and the projectile looks very similar
The projectile is marked:
m42N4444H then it looks like a partial 0 and trident/splayed W symbol.
I tried to photograph the markings, but it did not come out clearly, the markings are in a single line around the projectile above the driving band.
So it looks like this projectile may be in the wrong case

I also have a complete Carl Gustav round and the projectile has the same markings as yours.
But I have a 20x110 Hispano round with a projectile which looks identical, except for the markings, which are almost the same as the ones in the first picture. So although I can't check the weight, it seems possible that the same projectile may have been used in two different cases (except for the markings).
