Looks very much like a US manufacture - but on a 20x139mm?

Looks that way to me as well, but when was the US making 20x139?
 
This 20x139 Dummy is for the M139 cannon, a modified american Version of the HS-820 cannon.
I have a similar one.

Thanks, I had never noticed it previously. Wikipedia states:

The United States produced a slightly modified version of the HS.820 as the M139. It saw use on a number of vehicles, including the US Army's M114 and the Marine Corps Amphibious Assault Vehicle and the ill-fated MICV-65 series of armored vehicles, including on a palletised mount in the cabin of a Bell UH-1 helicopter.
A couple of related images from the internet:
