British ammunition for M2 & M3 tank guns?

[MikeC]

Question for the brains trust, please: did the UK and/or Canada manufacture 75mm ammunition for the M2 & M3 tank guns (Lee/Grant tanks for the M2 or M3, and M3 for the Sherman). If so, what natures and what propellant was used, please?

I only can tell you about the corresponding 75 mm M18 shell case from my former collection, both GB and CA made these dated WW2, I had several in my collection.

That is rather interesting that England chose to use the American Mark 1 HE design with a French fuze. Of course, the Mark 1 was originally a French design from WW1.

Few people know that the shellcase for the sherman m4 75 mm tank gun is exactly the same as for the french 75mm m1897 field gun.
