After buying a bummer(!!) I could see that it had obviously been repainted . I removed the paint with difficulty to reveal this - see picture. It has a fuse marked No.2531G/N . I can see yellow paint within the lettering which implies that it matches the projectile. On the underside of the base of the projectile there is a circle with NC and a couple of symbols inside. It was mounted in a British cartridge case. Does the bright yellow mean that this an American Hispano? I know the British HEI is red and buff.
Thanks
