Gordon, The casing looks like American Armaments for the AT gun. What's the case length? The base of the projo also looks like how AA made some of their other rounds but the tip doesn't. Then again, maybe Japanese? Interesting for sure. Cheers, Bruce.

The casing is an American Armaments AA case, but that doesn't mean anything as anything
can be stuck into anything else. It's not mine, but is interesting and shaped like an AP type
but must if real be a drill type as the band is integral and steel.

Thanks certainly the same thing, though not a projectile one could fire as it has an integral steel band. Both examples seem
to have some lead filling.
The canister on the right is actually an American Ordnance Co example from circa 1900 and goes in the 37x136 case.
it will be marked AmOrdCo in small letters.

Thanks to Hazord for posting these.
