Bought these at a show recently for £70 for all of them and the guy had no clue what they were, got them as im only just getting into military ordnance and thought it would be a good addition to my small collection. Did as much research as i could and im pretty sure the 120mm round is likely from a chieftain or something similar from the 80s and is a practice hesh round but would love to get someone's opinion and as for the rest im quite clueless so any help would be amazing.



markings on the teal colour shell:

120 MM TK
SX912
C6136
596P
LOT 441B
4-80
P16 on the tip

measurements:

120 mm diameter
510–520 mm long
17 kg

The one second on the left i can only read LOT and HE this one weighs roughly 11 kg and is 105mm wide 35 cm tall and has a completely flat bottom

mortar round is 33cm tall 105mm across and weighs 5.5kg

small round is 18.5cm tall 57mm wide and 2kg

any help would be much appreciated thank you guys

You would pay double that in Australia. Nice 120mm .
Second one looks like a 105mm Howitzer by RLB and the small ones are 6Pr possibly 7cwt APT?
You need a close-up to ID the mortar. Just my opinions. Wish I could find a 120mm. I only have an APDS projectile.

SX912 is a drawing number. It would appear the Prac. and Live round use the same body. Painted markings at a bit suspect.

The mortar would appear to be a British 4.2" The markings need to be cleaned up.
