Greetings all, hopefully someone can give me an answer to this simple question.

I have a 20mm round, made by BMAR Co. in 1940, its a 20mm 1Z (base markings). The question is, the projectile is painted black, what type of round is it?
 
BMAR Co

BMAR Co being British Manufacturing And Research Company formerly of Grantham Lincolnshire UK.

A major manufacturer or Hispano ammunition during the war then involved in 30 mm manufacture and research including Rarden developement and testing-now like most in the uk defunct.
