Shell is olive green with yellow markings painted which was standard Yugoslav Peoples Army shell scheme.
Following painting the shell is 88mm anti-aircraft shell with time fuse model 18/36. three crosses near nose say that shell is more than 3% heavier than standard, and T that filling is TNT.
fuse on this shell is originally yugoslav-made in Slavko Rodic factory in Bugojno as first serial 9n 1967 year for which Cyrillic SRB6701 stands for.
These shells are issued to Yugoslavia as war damage compensation and were in active use till late 50's when they were transfered to territorial defense units. In Yugoslav Peoples Army these shells were re-designated to M18 which has nothing in common with US M18 self propelled cannon issued to Yugoslavia in late 40's as foreign military help.
i suppose so, i haven't found technical documentation about this shell, but as this is bursting AA shell improved fragmentation is logical explanation for grooves
according to markings, shell on first picture is not airbursting round.
on airbursting rounds common marking is TEMP. which mens tempirni-clock work.
on this shell marking is TREN.FUG. meaning trenutno-fugasni - high explosive impact.
