100% not a RARDEN clip. You can only load 3 rounds a time into a RARDEN.

When I collected 30x170 a few of these turned up with KCB rounds in every now and then but never did manage to find out what they are from.
 
A Round 30mm RARDEN clip x 3.
As you can see from photos 2 and 3 the handle lugs have to be flat when the rounds are present.
Photo 4 clearly shows the distortion of the end stop lug to remove the rounds.
The blue plastic handle cover indicates that these were practice rounds. These are easily changed clip on bands which may be yellow for HE etc.
