30mm Projectiles

Pictured are 3 modern 30mm projectiles that I have struggled to confirm for certain and so I would appreciate any help. First is what I think is a fired practice projectile (NATO blue) from the Apache chain gun, M788, length 107.4mm. Second is possibly a practice projectile from the DEFA 550 (brass driving band), length 111mm. Last is an unfinished projectile without ballistic cap length 104.3mm, possibly from the UK AFV Rarden cannon. As always glad to have your thoughts.

Your right about the third projectile. A 30x170mm APSE missing its ballistic cap.
