Jose, look at the manual, the picture of Nabob shows an C/22 primer, and there fore this is a KWK39 round.

Perhaps the primer has been put in the wrong case as it says Pak on the case head.

The case 50x420R is the same for the Pak 38 KwK 39, KwK 39/1 and KwK 39/2 (L/62). Case is marked Pak 38 only. Do not remember ever seeing one marked Pak38/KwK39.
The case 50x289R is for 5cm KwK and KwK 40 (L/42).
Pak uses mechanical primer C/12, tank gun uses electrical primer C/22.

A follow up question if You please.
Has anyone seen a 5cm Pzgr. 40/1 Ausf. O or 5cm Pzgr. 40/1 Ausf. P mounted on the 50x289R case?
