Gaine for a 1940 3in/20CWT HE Shell

I am currently restoring an unfired 3in/20CWT HE shell from 1940. It came with no paint, a No. 199 PTTD fuze, but no gaine. The fuze hole in the nose of the 3in shell appears, at first, to be identical to a 1939 3.7in AA shell, and its MK I-11 gaine, but a closer examination shows the required gaine to have been about 10% smaller than the 3.7in gaine. Does anyone have some info on the name of this gaine? A line drawing of the gaine would be extremely useful. -Rick
