Interestingly Waff the 14.5 x 114 API is 1944 dated which is why the projectile looks like a "Nickle" jacket, it is in fact a "Sintered Steel" jacket that used to contain a hardened steel core (now lead filled and nicely done too) and the case is Brass too.
The other 14.5 x 114 Ball round is just that as I was a little sceptical that someone had rubbed off the Red/Blue or black tip, but it actually is a "Ball" round as the core is soft and is dated 1969 if it is the correct case.
The 37mm x 155 "N" round has a High Explosive shell INERT filled and weighted to represent a proper HE shell, this is an "OZT" projectile and is dated 1975.
I was very pleased to find these items as I suspect they are going to get to be very rare.
