I am trying to figure out the nomenclature for this round ...

Museum says German.
Dia: 20-MM
Length: 202-MM
Cartridge Case Length: 138-MM

Any ideas?

Joe

This round with its solid shot was made for the Solothurn S18-1000 anti tank rifle.
Rounds with a solid shot and tracer are also known (see pictures added).
The brown color was specific for these solid projectiles.
The Solothurn designation for the shot was "Panzergranate Paula massiv".
