Attached are some photos of a 90mm HVAP tank round.
Photos include complete round, close up or projectile, round with core exposed, core next to cap, view looking down onto projectile with core removed.
The base of the core is marked as followed:-
LOT CAA-1-44 1951
BATCH
180-P-57696
Stencling on the base of the case says
AMM LOT GR-4
SHOT
HVAP-T m306
SMOKELESS
Stamping on the case says
90MM M19
SMC 46
1945
So presumably old cases were used for the more recent projectiles.
