Dummy round ID

Hello,

I found on auction websites pictures of 2 Dummy-Drill shells. No serious description of these shells (maybe naval 3in)

So, does anyone can identify these rounds ?

Regards.

Look like the fairly numerous US Naval 3" 50cal dummy/drill rounds.
There are a few variations of these ,with different quantities of wood and metal used, some with 'dummy' fuzes ,some projectiles as part of the body.

There are hundreds available in the US. They are all over ebay. You cannot go to a major flea market without seeing several for sale. Some people even have pallets of them in the original shipping containers.
