I see what you mean....... But..... the drawing you refer to has the dates 'pre 1945' and '45 - 48'. So my 1944 dated APC Shell weight marking should read either DEAD WEIGHT or the weight to the nearest lb. eg 379 lbs according to the guns handbook for markings on shells. Post 45 as shown in your drawings they indicated weight difference with the + or -
If im incorrect please correct me....... :tinysmile_shy_t:

At the risk of sending you apoplectic, you should have a weight marking for the actual shell weight in addition to the nominal shell weight for the periods pre '44 and '44 - '48.
See page 2 of this thread. A simple + or - figure will do.
