20mm numbers?

Hello again all,
I have two Hispano's in my collection, one case is dated 81 and the other 39. Both have similar projectiles, the only difference being that the more modern one is painted black. I'd be gratefull if one of our experts could advise me on the numbers stamped around the bodies? Both read 28 15 14, I don't know what these mean. I'm guessing that both projectiles are modern.
Many thanks,
navyman.

Hi navyman yes you are correct both are modern day projectiles if you look at MLM international hispano website you will see your projectiles and the correct colour codes
 
I have a 1980s dated dummy with one of these black painted projectiles. What were these made for?
