Correct 105mm TK Case for a BE Smoke Shell?

Hi,

What would be the correct British 105mm TK case for a BE smoke shell? I believe the HESH and Practice shells went with a RW 242 coded case, but they have different crimping to the BE smoke shell.

So what case do I need to accompany my recently acquired shell?

Thanks,
Mark
 
Mark,

You need one to RW303 which the designer's (RARDE, Fort Halstead) reference is S1/15234/E. Sorry I don't have a drawing.
