I show two different sized projectiles for the 1.5" Heavy Nordenfelt gun.
Copper-plated steel. One has a base fuze. The other is missing.

Short projectile is 125mm long, 636 grams and has a 78mm deep cavity for the explosive.
Long projectile is 137mm long, 633 grams and has a 104mm deep cavity for the explosive.
They are not marked and I ask is they are Common or Steel shell?
Weights are without the base fuze. (edited)
