This might not be of much help. But here are a few photos.

The R.E/P was a Practice HE SUB which was repainted for some obscure reason.

The drill rounds are in my collection.

The Fuze Setting Dummy is also in my collection.

John,

Sorry, I can't help with your hunt for ammo for these guns but I do have a nice copy of BR 257 Handbook for the 4 Inch Q.F. Mark XVI* Gun on the H. A. Twin Mark XIX and Single Mark XX Mountings dated 1941. This large book, (13.5" x 8.5") with plenty of coloured plates is sitting in my crowded bookcase.
