Hi, yes I'll e mail some to you - you're welcome to put them on the forum - I'm not that good at compressing them.
Ta,

Hi Lee I've finally got around to digging the round out so here's a better picture plus one of the headstamp.
Also is a photo of the label on the box (elsewhere the box is marked 9-50).
It was designed for fuze testing using a variety or projetiles with a velocity of........wait for it..........5340 ft/second!!!!!!

Dave.
