Hello everyone!

I need a little help with these two projectiles.
The caliber is 30mm and the total length of the one with cap is something like 140mm.
I think oerlikon or rarden 30x170mm?!

Thanks in advance!

Greetings from the Netherlands!
 
Apse-t

30 MM Rarden A.P.S.E.T. Armour Piercing Special Effect-Tracer.
The top one has its nose on and the bottom one is minus its "swaged" on Aluminium cap.
There is no fuze on a filled round as the Red Phosphorous is ignited by the heat generated by the passge of the body through the armour.
Not all that common as far as I am aware.
