Well here's mine....don't know too much about post WW2 either 
. but it looks like the L31/A7, even though the text on it seems to say L37
Was given to me by a generous friend...but not sure what to do with it now tbh ;-)
Can anyone tell me any more about it?

Send it to me for evaluation mate!
Hello Rich,yours is experimental hence the colour ,the red ring i believe indicates it has a tracer units,HE sub is High explosive substitute,this can be mis-leading there can be a variety of different fillings Wax or even a Low explosive or other ,it does not mean the item is free from explosives unless it is marked otherwise,could you take a picture of the base Richard ,is it flat or does it have a fuze pocket if it has a fuze pocket it will have a small oblong slot
Hi Spotter, the other side of the proj is clearly marked INERT. ...else I'd have given it straight back. Must be the southern softie in me, but I try to only collect AP stuff, so I can sleep at night. ;-)
The base definitely does have quite a large pocket, and from quick examination, seems to be identical to the drawing you posted for version L31/A7. I can see what I think is a yellow felt pad at the bottom
Ill take some more pics and post, good reference if nothing else.
