5,5 inch HE painting

Hi,

I bought two 5,5 inch HE shells dating from WW II (1 British, 1 Canadian) and I'd like to restore them to the original painting & stenciling.
Does someone have a nice picture or drawing of an original shell, so I could see how it should look like?
Thanks and a happy new year with lots of collecting fun!

Brgds,

Afternoon Timefuze, there is a colour picture of a painted 80lb projectile on John Carlin's website for sale at 400. I cannot say if it is correct but at least a start, try Google jc militaria, and select inert ammunition the item is on page 8.
