Hi,
I am looking for a designation of the 20mm HEI-T AA (20x138B) round on the picture.
The 14,5g explosive is in the middle, You can see a black powder disc of the SD (left 20g from 2cm Brsprgr o L'spur, right 6,4g from 2cm Brsprgr. L'spur W).
fuze: AZ49 1118 44 wa
Projectile: wa bc 44 80 44
Case wa
1018 WaA10
44
due to rust the reading was difficult so errors may be present.

Internal disposition similar to DJs cutaway No9 on the attached picture but with SD. (I am also interested in the correct designation of the No9 round and projo)

Thanks, Bob.

I think No9 should be 2cm Br Sprgr vk L'spur and the one in the picture 2cm Br Sprgr vk L'spur W.
 
Hi,
Yes, I think You are right. On the other great ammo forum I got the same answer.
It is referenced in the book "Die Patrone 20 x 138 B, ihre Verwendung in der 2-cm-Flak 30 und 2-cm-Flak 38 sowie in anderen Waffen" by Mr. Jost-Burkhard H Anderhub page 186.

Thank You, Bob
