By the length and shape, they are old. Probably 1920's to early WWII. Too bad some moron scrapper removed the bands.
If you have any documentation on U.S. WWII AP bombs, you might find your projos. Early in the war, they converted old Navy AP projos over to bombs by putting bands with shackles around them.
They don't have provisions for a nose fuze and they're quite blunt. That's why I'm leaning towards a drill/load training round of some sort - they don't appear to be very aerodynamic . If they are/were live, I assume they would have had a windshield at some point.
There is a hole drilled crosswise near the nose of them - another odd feature of these rounds. My only guesses for that would be to aid in moving it around (assuming drill round) or, possibly, the means to attach the windshield (assuming live)... These are definitely head scratchers!
