Here's a couple of the larger rounds from my collection.
The King Tiger round on the left looks a bit small next to the 5 inch GreenMace experimental anti aircraft case on the right.

Hi,

I believe the Green Mace prototype is in the Royal Artillery Fire Power Museum at Woolwich it was a monster ... it is near to the SP70 SP Gun another unreliable monster.

Lovely KT round as Waff said, very nice to have in your collection.

Hi Waff, as requested here's the headstamp on the case and the stamping on the base of the projectile.

Thanks Hobbit, yes I saw the Greenmace gun at the Rotunda before all the stuff got moved to Firepower, what a monster it is! Finding the rounds seems to be the difficult bit.
