Ah 'MINENAZ16' beat me to it. Seems I was trying to put too much info and research into my reply.
From the look of it it's an earlier design 40 mm GPR-PD-T (General Purpose Round - Point Detonate- Tracer), GPR-AB-T (General Purpose Round - Air-Burst - Tracer), or a TP-T for the 40 mm CTA (Cased Telescoped Cannon).
Later models have short ogival nose tip ([FONT=&]≈[/FONT]2 c.r.h.) and not the hemispherical one seen in the image below, or one that you posted here.
Whereabouts was this projectile found by the way?
