Hello...the projectile is probably a 40mm Bofors but the cartridge case is 40mm Vickers (2pounder No1) which did not use this projectile.
 
Hi charley
ok thanks already guessed more or less, have any photographs of the full size?
 
Hi Hasag,Charlie is correct,Looks to be a 40mm Bofors plugged practice projectile in the wrong case. Can you read the markings on the shell? Does it have a tracer fitted or a plug? Cheers Tig.
