The projectile with remnants of blue paint weighs 2.1 Kg and has a diameter of 63mm. The Black one weighs 4.5 Kg (Tungsten?) and a diameter of 61mm. Both have a tracer spigot at the base. Are these 105mm, 120mm or what?

The blue TPDS specimen could also be a US M737 which looks almost identical to the M724 :)

Not sure if this is a M737 or a M724?
