For those interested here is report from Aberdeen Proving Ground, USA, dated December 1958 concerning test firing the Canadian designed 105 HE T388 modified base bleed projectile. Different configurations of bleed holes and other modifications to the projectile were tried during the experiment. The report is available here: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/305107.pdf

Below are some pictures of the 105mm T388 projectiles used in the test.
