The 76 mm was first used by the South African Navy in 1977 on the Minister Class Strike Craft. In 1989 it was introduced in to the South African Army and used in the Rooikat (Caracal or "Red Cat") Armoured Vehicle.
These were used quite extensively during the Angolan war. It was with the introduction of the Rooikat that the APFS DS was used.
I assume that this projectile was produced in South Africa.
