Pictured are what I think are 2 British WW1 18pdr HE projectiles, probably an early model (painted as a HE) fitted with a number 103 fuse and a later slightly more streamlined version (painted black) fitted with a number 101 fuse. The fuse pockets are different in that the painted HE has only sufficient threads for a 103 fuse, the longer threaded 101 will not screw fully home. If anybody can add some detail to the exact models I would appreciate the education.
