It's the only 5" projectile for this gun I've ever seen. We did have some guns in
Canada and two survive. First rounded top practice I've come across here also.

Nice projectile. I just got a similar one from a Japanese museum? that is all pitted and 1" GS fuze hole but no markings left due to pitting.
I may show it at a later date.
Your 2Pr Vickers looks like a practice projectile and these are common in Australia.
