British Bofors drill round?

[turpin42]

Hi all
Came across this at the bottom of a case of 40 mm practice bofors rounds.
Is it British wartime or...?
Thought maybe british because of DRILL stamped on the bottom of the case.
Don't have much of a clue when it comes to 40 mm bofors.
Hope someone can help with some info.

All the best

I'm sure it's a British MKIII Drill Bofors; I had an identical one a few years ago from a UK source, but never found out who the manufacturer (CPL) was. Trevor
