20mm Madsen by FN in the mid-1980s

Hello,

does somebody have any informations, documents, drawings of this rounds?

My knowledge is very limited. I've heard rumors they were made for the navy of a south-east-asian country.
Checked "Jane's Fighting Ships", but no naval 20mm Madsen guns in that area.

The only relation to SE asia I've found:

Thailand Commando V150 [TH 20mm] carrier, wheeled, 4x4, fire support, 20mm.JPG

Crude thing. Can't believe that Thailand had ordered a complete series of new developed ammo for this limited purpose (and a limited amount of such vehicles, I guess).

So, all questions around the FN-Madsen are still open.
Every little help is welcome.

Cheers,
Defender
