Identified 57mm projectile

[earni74]

I have this 57mm projectile that i cannot find out its origin.

Projectile overall lenth is 200mm

drive band diameter is 58mm

base threaded apature is 36.3mm diameter

nose threaded apature is 13.8mm diameter ( a german ww2 2cm fuze screws in ) this only proves the thread is metric.

The 2 coloured bands remind me of japanese shells,the only markings are the ones shown in the picture.

What's the part of the shell content labelled "lyssots"? Google translate is baffled....

Hello,

I think it's a part for tracer composition (same construction as 40mm bofors). I assume this shell is with self destruction by tracer.

I read "Lyssats" and not "Lyssots" on the diagram.

Lyssatz ~ tracer composition
