84mm TP-T questions

[37patt]

I recently picked up an 84 mm Carl Gustav warhead, it is marked on the 'front'
34G
PRAC L41A4
T
and on the 'back' it has
LOT Z 11-12-65
0559
I am sure it is a British training practice tracer round.
Does anyone know what the inert filling inside consists of and where the tracer cup would normally sit.
The manufacture date for this is 11 December 1965?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Without a picture, any reply is a WAG (wild ass guess).

Hi 37patt,

Hi smle2009 - essentially that is the round I have. Mine is marked as stated above and it has a removable plastic cap on the nose of the stand off tube.
The filling appears to be a wax and sand mix, and I was hoping someone could confirm that.
If you have a cutaway diagram that would be great as I also want to confirm the location of the tracer cup.

Thanks for the interest

Hi 37patt,
sorry I'm not a lot of help apart for the photo,not my area of intrest I'm afraid,just thought the photo would help in 'worth a thousand words department' and I'm sure it won't be long before one of the experts of this type of ordnance will give you all the info you need:tinysmile_fatgrin_t.

Cheers

Thanks a lot smle2009 - I have a miserable time trying to post pictures into forums and have pretty much given up.
Yours is pretty close to mine except for the markings so it is a very good post.
Mine is dated 1965, I'm pretty sure, so it's an early one but I haven't been able to find any information on the L41A4 version.
Cheers
