They are 3 pr practice projectiles almost certainly from WW1. They would normally be marked as such on the side wall, but this could have been polished off. The 47mm Hotchkiss projectiles are slightly shorter and I've never seen a solid one, although that doesn't mean they didn't make them.
Your projectiles appear to have Nordenfelt or the later Nordenfelt-Maxim style rotating bands (same design). Good examples of late 1800s UK arms manufacturing.
