hi

i think that they adopted the NATO codes (from the sixty years). green + yellow numbers ..

But i have a little doubt for the navy (often independent and conservative).

Sorry for the delay but I have just joined BOCN.
Here two pictures of a french 57mm TP-T Model 50 of my collection.

Interesting to see France used a different design for the rotating bands.

Single banded Old design

The only High Explosive one I have seen is shown below and I believe it is of the older design with a single Driving/Rotating band.
Sadly it had no paint to identify its source
