Pictured are what I believe to be a pair of canister projectiles for the Canon de 65 de Montagne modele 1906. Found in a French antique shop and a perfect fit for the 65x167mm cases. The projectiles are 250mm long and pictured against the relatively common 37mm canister round. I was surprised at the size of these projectiles, but if used in a colonial context having a good anti-personnel option would have been useful. Glad to have your comments and confirmation of my identification.
