Mystery 30mm Projectiles

[peregrinvs]

Hi,

Asking on behalf of another. Could someone ID these? They measure 30x112mm and the alloy nose is 50mm long. They are two of five found in a farmer's field in Pembrokeshire a few years ago.

My initial guess it that they are LV Aden practice shells, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Mark

They dont look like the LV aden ive got try counting lands and groove rifling marks and were they found near any weapons ranges.I will see if I have any gun barrel information may be able to identify by number of rifles and direction of twist.
Regards
Tom

LV Adens have rounded bases but these have flat bases. Not Adens but I await the ID from the experts.

They are same type found on pembrey weapons range could be DEFA.

My guess would be 30x170mm RARDEN TP projectiles, I have 2 similar ones but the slight boat tail is throwing me off.

Ogive looks wrong for RARDEN.
