F1 French WP

[jvollenberg]

I am trying to figure out some of the markings on the F1 90-MM WP round.

In the picture provided it is OF 90-F1 I have also seen OFUM-90-F1

Is there a difference? If not, then why mark them differently?

In French OF 90 F1 PH is for "Obus" (=shell) "Fumigène" (=smoke) "modèle F1" (=model F1) "au Phosphore" (=white phosphorus).
I don't know why markings could be different OF or OFUM.

bonjour, peut etre que l'obus marqué PH en rouge est chargé en phosphore rouge et l'autre 90 avec du phosphore blanc ( wp ) , d'où cette différence de marquage

l'autre obus peut etre chargé en hexachlorethane ?

The official designation from our military manual is OFUM 90 F1.
FIlled with white phosphorus (no red phosphorus, no HC).
Exported with markings WP instead of PH.
