My recent additions. 2 x 4.7" drill projectiles. One dated 1943 and the other 1944.
Two South African ships, SAS Jan van Riebeeck and the SAS Simon van der Stel (previously British ships) were fitted with these 4.7" guns. The ships were used between 1950 and 1961 by the South African Navy. These were the HMS Wessex and HMS Whelp before being renamed.
