I bought this fired 20mm HE T projectile with missing fuze. The fired drive band has writing in the letters M, H 5964 spaced out around on the raised copper band on the projectile. It seems that the top where a fuze is screwed in has been ground off or the threads are ground out or its a push fit fuze. Can anyone identify what I have.

Can anyone identify what I have, there seems to be traces of yellow on the body finish.
