very cool and interesting 155mm WP projectile that has exploded in a very strange way.probably a low order detonation due to faulty fuze or bursting charge.color is light green with traces of red lettering which I cant read.

As far as I can see it's the normal way a WP or Chemical shell explodes. There is only a burster charge pipe in the centre that is supposed to blow the projectile body open so the cargo is released.
