6 pr questions

Hello, I have some 6pr related questions,
1. I am looking for drawings for british 57 mm rounds APC-T (6pr 7cwt)
2. It also seems that on several pictures the marking of the AP-T projectile is different. Some pics have white tip only (DJ's cut). Some have white tip directly followed by red and white strap, some vhite tip and white red white strap on the cylindrical part. I guess it changed in time, my interest is end of ww2.
3. How much was the tracer cavity filled with tracer compound on the AP-T and APC-T shots. Some docs I have show it filled to 2/3.

Thanks, Bob.
