French 37mm Hotchkiss AP Projectile colours.

[Falcon]

How should a French WW1 era 37mm Hotchkiss AP projectile be painted (colour, markigs etc)?

Can anyone post a diagram or photo of an original?

Thanks for any info.

I used to have a link to the French 37mm Hotchkiss ammunition but lost it a couple of years ago when my PC crashed. You might start here and see if you can find what you need.
