17-pr HE Shells during WW2

Hello,

As far as I can find out there were 4 different cartridges, regarding 17-pr HE ammunition:

Cartridge, Q.F. 17-Pr, HE/T Shell
Cartridge, Q.F. 17-Pr, HE/T Shell, Reduced Charge
Cartridge, Q.F. 17-Pr, HE/HC/T Shell, Reduced Charge
Cartridge, Q.F. 17-Pr, HE/Super HC//T, Reduced Charge

Have these all been used during WW-2 or was the HE/Super HC/T post war?

I am also looking to the correct dimensions and weights of these ammunition.


Greetings - Antoon
