Looking for id's on the loadings of these 20mms please.
The first two are Swiss 20x110 hispanos from the 50's,the third is from a Yugoslavian? 20x138B(headstamped 20mm M53 Cy5567 and two monograms of TK & BK)
Thanks Tony

Tony,

The first Swiss one, i'm not sure, but that one could be a "Panzer brand granate" (AP-HE)

The second Swiss one (pink with yellow) is a "Minen-Brand-Granate mit Momentanzunder" (HEI with instant fuze).

The third one is indeed a Yugoslavian HE round. They made these with new components, or even with old German pieces (see example with German WWII evz 1944 dated code)

The Yugoslavian are not HE.....this are TP-T for the Subcaliber device M62.
CY - Kompanija Sloboda A.D.
The first swiss one is a API (swiss nomenclature RID) with PD and BD Fuzes for double incendiary effect.

Rigby,

You're correct. I got mixed up... The original (German) ones were HE-T, but were converted by Yougoslavia to TP-T (and hey also made complete new ones).
