Identification please

stuff

Member
As mentioned before I have quite a bit of stuff I have not identified (small arms ammunition makes up my primary collection)

Pictures below are three one pounders; left to right

The first one is hollow so I assume explosive has a very small threaded hole in the top what is it and what fuse would it have.

The middle one (quite pitted) looks to be of a similar construction but has three equidistant brass screws in the top section of the projectile. It has a flat conical brass screw in the threaded hole.

Lastly the one on the right is a similar construction but has a slightly sharper taper and has a pointed brass / bronze tip. This one was as some point in its life chromed and later the chrome was chemically removed the base of the projectile still has traces of chrome on it.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
