It's a 5cm Rochling. They come in a veriaty of different tails and lengths . Before firing, the fins are in a rolled up position in a piece of pipe witha loose rotating drivingband at the base. The usage of the mortar fuze on the shell means that it has little to no rotataion after firing.
This system has not passed the stadium of experimental shells.
