35x228 FAPDS with 30x173 MPDS core

Hi All,

I bought an 35x228 FAPDS which turned out to contain a core for a 30x173 MPDS. I thought that someone had just put in a core that seemed to fit (it is slightly smaller than a regular 35x228 core, so it fits very loosley), but it was suggested to me that it might be an experiment. Has anyone ever seen an experimental 35x228 with a 30x173 core in a standard FAPDS sabot?
Picture with FAPDS cutaway for reference.
Thanks for helping out.
