Help with ID, possible 90mm WWII AP Anti-Tank Shell

This shell was found in the desert near Barstow CA in 1982 when a guy drove over it in his motorcycle and was tossed into some sagebrush.

I may be a US 90mm armor piercing anti-tank round; there is a threaded shallow hole in the base for possible tracer placement.

Am I on target with the ID?

Definitely looks like a 90mm AP SHOT Tracer projo, minus rotating band and tracer element.
