Ruuti,

I would be wary of any markings on the projectiles, if you look at their next picture https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/...en_ammunition_Keski-Suomen_ilmailumuseo_2.JPG no way is that colouring original, it looks like it's been crayoned. Apparently, someone has seen fit to re-mark the round(s).

The 'HE' round is in a 'RG' Radway Green case and I think the one you have shown is also in a 'RG' case. I've looked for UK manufacturers' monograms ending HE, but to no good result. What makes you think the first letter is a 'J'?

Looks like a Practice Mk 2Z to me. Usual black paint but none of mine have marks like your example.

Yes, the yellow one is clearly selfpainted, but the black is my opinion original.
And the JHA-stamp; i have seen another similar cartridge previously in a different place.

In sweden a black 30mm Aden bullet would armour piercing. maybe the danes use the same marking, unfortunately i didn't have any danish documents about 30mm ammunition.
Or is it a danish production for sweden?
