155mm Dummy

Hi All,

Have acquired what I believe to be a Dummy M7B1 projectile for the 155mm gun.
There are no markings on it that I can see, and a previous owner has stripped it back to bare metal. As I would like to restore this to its "Service" appearance, can any of our members tell me what colour it should be painted, and what stencils/markings it should have, please.

Thanks in advance,

Roger.
 
From TM 43-0001-28 1977 change 16 (1987)

"Exterior markings indicate weapons with which the dummy projectile maybe used"
"Early production projectiles were intended for training with gun gannon only ; recent production is suitable for loading in howitzers also."

HOW M1, M1A1, M45, M126, M126A1
