I need identification help for this round.It has label: .5 in Vickers V/690 on it.

Stamps: K.35 5V 690

For what gun this round is? What kind of ammunition this one is?

British .50 high velocity dated 1935, made by Kynoch. See: https://sites.google.com/site/britmilammo/-5-inch-vickers-high-velocity

I can admit that Finland purchased in 1932 from UK one .50 "Class D" MG for testing. Test was carried out in 1933 and resulting to test Finland decided to design a 13,2x118 machinegun L-34.
