84mm Carl Gustav HEDP

I ask why the name is spelled as Gustav and also Gustaf. Which is correct?

I finally found an example of the 84mm HEDP 502 ? An inert cartridge Dual Purpose.
Of interest is the later flat on the rim and also the other two cut-outs to orient the cartridge for Instant or delay.
Does the green band indicate Inert and also the two primers (instead of one) are coloured green.

No maker name but seems Swedish and has the blow-out disc in the base .Steel body with alloy nose.
It may be found overseas but is scarce in Australia.
