OK, I just put a thread up in the "Introduce Yourself" section, and as promised here is my first post in the regular sections...
Here is a link to a discussion we had on it over at the IAA Forum...

I will post the pics here too, but we are thinking its an Israeli projectile judging by the markings, and the lack of typical US markings on or above the driving band.
My problem is a standard 105 type fuze is too small to fit, and many documents I have come up with talk about a brazed in adapter, and if you look and current drawings you can see there is a fuze adapter/extended burster used in 155 smoke and chemical projectiles.
So my question for the big stuff guru's here, what do you think this shell is, and can anyone point me in the direction of an adapter so I can put this back together as a complete projectile, and restore it? I plan on repainting it as a standard M107 HE projectile, and have a proper M563 MT fuze to mount on it....
