You need a MKll projectile

Easier to find in the U.S. Maybe somebody has an extra ?
These are blue when used for subcaliber practice with the M38 fuze, formerly yellow as H.E. with the MKlV fuze. You may have to use a fine file on the threads to make them fit as fired fuzes they may be slightly distorted, I have done this and they work out well.
