It looks like a 100 mm 53-OF-412 (53-ОФ-412) or 3OF32 (3ОФ32), but fitted with a GPV-1 (ГПВ-1) or GPV-2 (ГПВ-1) fuze?
Either projectile would normally be fitted with a different fuze. So the V-429 (В-429) or RGM (РГМ)-series when fired from the 2A48/BS-3/D-10/KS-10 (2А48/БС-3/Д-10/КС-19) guns, or 3V35 (3В35) when fired but the 2A70 gun of the BMP-3.
The GPV-1 and GPV-2 are normally used for HEAT projectiles with slipping driving bands that are fired from rifled guns.
