20x102 Raufoss projectile designation (presumably FAP or PELE)

What is the correct designation for this round ?

Most likely it's a FAP or PELE round, but not sure at all.
Other FAP projectiles made by OE do have a diffrent shape (one piece cast resin with FAP core), while this round (2 piece magnetic body with aluminum windscreen) seems to be a 'substitute' for the PGU-28/B round

Can anyone help?
Also any drawings of this actual round are welcome.

Hi orpheus72,

Your picture shows a Swiss TP projectile for the M61 Vulcan gun used in the F/A18 jet fighter. The Swiss designation for the cartrige: 20mm Flz Kan 92 UPat 97 (Flugzeug Kanone 92 Uebungspatrone 97).
In the Swiss army black color and the number 592 stand for TP ammunition (normaly....)

Regards
