I'm pretty sure this is a Russian 23mm but wanted to verify it. The projectile is hallowed aluminum and is a little less than 25mm in diameter. So I guess it's a demonstration projectile.
It is near impossible to ID something in a down looking isometric view. Take a photo looking straight at the side of the complete dummy to show the correct profile.
Thumbed thru my SOVIET CANNON encyclopedia. Without delving too deeply into the text, it looks like orcutteod's shell may be a Czech "tool cartridge or chamber gauge". Pg. #147 of about 20 with numerous options/variations/countries of mfg. As for mine, I've not identified them any further than dimensions. I'd forget, anyway.
I believe Mr. Nabob is correct. Thumbing further thru the book, I ran across the belted(152mm) options and there is an example with the same headstamp, although the "A" (at 9 o'clock) is obliterated on the pictured example here. I could not find a chromed example in the book.
