I am in need of some technical information on the the 90mm HEP HESH projectile. Both US and Belgium will be fine.

Thank you

The Tracer and base are patterned after the U.S. 105mm style, but the U.S. HEP-T doesn't have a ring around the ogive. I will have to check the body length of the U.S. projectile.

thanks, many are saying M 491 (think that is right) made by the Belgiums, but I cant get a pic of the projectile.
 
Kicking this one back up, I still can not find anything on this HEP (HESH) round, The Mecar is the closest but i have not seen any pics of the projectile to prove it.
