Drill 37mm ID

[MINENAZ16]

Found this one on Delcampe.
It's the first time I see this dummy round.
Any idea ?

I notice the listing in the link lasted one day only, in May, and the seller account appears to be closed.
An item with the same photo and description had already been sold in January. A friend bid but did not win it.

With paint with the same scale (considering both 40mm).

I agree that it looks like a 2Pr Vickers Navy Drill round.
I have one steel case Drill Mk V1 as shown. It is 39.7mm projectile diameter and 285mm long. Rubber in primer pocket.
I have noted another Drill (not in my collection) headstamped: QF 2PR Mk V111 Gun Mk 111 DRILL K.CM N 1942.
It is also steel with a 4mm wide groove 146/150mm from the rim. There must be other 2pr Drill rounds so please show them.
Who are the makers KCM and LCR ?
Edit. Just noticed the latest post and the case shoulder does seem different to the 2Pr Vickers so unknown but a nice item.

I believe it's a 40mm Flank gun canister drill round. They were made in wood/brass and steel.

I think you are correct Burney Davis but hard to ID when no dimensions are given.
I show the French 40x100R compared to the 37mm cannister shell. 40mm is 210mm overall.
If it is a Drill round 40mm then a very scarce item in my opinion and nice to see.

Thanks for all answers.
Length and general shape are close to french 40mm canister cartridge 1879.
So could be drill cartridge for this gun.

So the same made of steel.

Is the first totaly made of brass ?

Is the first totaly made of brass ?

I don't know, the guy wrote "same black material as practice subcaliber cartridge", so I assume Bakelite but could be protective material as we can see a kind of winding.
