I have two 30mm Practice projectiles I need identified.
I also need to know the correct case/headstamp to make up complete rounds if possible.

1. Possibly a DEFA DM18. Is it German or Oerlikon?
White print: DM18 30K UB MUN LOS LV-6A
Impressed: DM 1049 LOS OE-9 30K DM 18 LOS LV-6
Weight is 237 grams. Length is 110mm

2. Shorter possibly USA Practice.
No markings. 237 grams 106mm long.

Any information is appreciated.
