Hi all, someone messaged me recently asking whether I could make a shell for their casing, however I'm not 100% sure which casing this is

Photos attached, hopefully someone knows :)

4.5 in Surface-Use Practice N7A2 shown in Jane's Ammunition Handbook (I'm looking at 1995-96 edition, edited by Terry Gander & Ian Hogg).
Described as "Intended for practice firing against surface targets this projectile has the same body as the HE round but filled with an inert material and a nose plug representing a fuze. Known as SUP."

I'm confident I have a proj. in storage - can look tomorrow and photograph, then try to attach.

Hope this helps.
