Does anybody have a decent image or details of a UK 30mm Aden HE & AP rounds showing the colour and markings of the projectile. also would there have been any stencilling on the case.
Thanks in advance

It is possible these varied over time, but AFAIK the AP projectiles were black overall and the HE yellow overall. Multi-purpose rounds had a yellow body with an unpainted light-alloy nose. I am unaware of any stencilling except for a red MP on the body of the Multipurpose.

These are British production, other countries used different systems.
