The base of the case looks slightly different in manufacture but it’s definitely Spanish Oerlikon.

Found a drawing of the projectiles for these on municion.org

The spanisch Navy used this caliber in MK-4 machine cannons.
There are AEI (HEI), AEI-T (HEI-T), E (TP) and E-T (TP-T).

A great web site so thanks.
I am sure that red plastic cased Blank is made in Norway for the Longest Day movie .
Wish I could find some of these scarce examples. Ron.
 
Can someone explain the markings to me?
I know:
TTT = Tracer
PON = Nomenclature
AE-I-T = HE-I-T
E-1/B-1 = I don't know this. I know the B = Expal
E.E. 01-1986 = don't know E.E. guessing LOT 1 of 1986, or January of 1986.

Joe
