Wood Drill round

I picked this up today. I think it is a form of 3" 50 cal. Drill round.
The only markings are part numbers on the various elements of it.
I have not seen this form before, there seems to be a much more
common almost all wood type around. Very nose heavy -

Not a keeper (space issues), but seems awfully heavy to ship any where -
interested parties might contact me.

Yes. A 3" 50. I have three versions.

My understanding is the earlier wooden versions were used for human loader training. The all metal version a cycling dummy for the auto loaders.
