Found on a stall at the War & Peace show. From a distance I thought they were L21A1 cases into which someone had incorrectly put AEP batons, but they are not.
The cases are all marked L21A4
All are from the same lot and manufacture date, March 2016 Lot 002.
The cases are all marked on the rear with the case supplier mark CCC and loaded by PSH. Case heads have individual numbers and all are fired.
Given that the L21A1 was replaced in 2005 by the L60A1, and was withdrawn from operational, qualifying and zeroing use (to be used for training only), these rounds pose a few questions.
Are the AEP batons correct for the L21A4 ?
Are/were there also L21A2 and L21A3 variants ?
What purpose does the L21A4 fulfil that the L60A2 doesn’t ?
The latest date I have seen for an L60A2 is 01 2015 (Also by PSH with CCC case), could it be that the L21A4 is a replacement for the L60A2 ?
