40-mm bofors

[jvollenberg]

Question …

Attached is a brochure for a 40-MM P-F-HE Mark 2.
What factory is 173?
Also, does anyone have a list of these numbers used by Europe? Several times I have run into this where they haven't used the traditional 2 or 3 letter code for the manufacturer. And I can't seem to hunt down the number system.

Thanks,

Joe

173 is the swedish code for BOFORS AB.

I figured ... just wanted to see if I was correct.
How many number codes are out there for EU rounds? I keep running into them hee and there, but I haven't seen a definiative list.
