Ha, beaten to it!
I was going to post some pictures of the example I picked up recently but you got in first. Did you get yours from the same mail order company that I did?!
I reckon that the drill round is of Yugoslavian origin for their M55 20 m/m Hispano cannon system. I shall check again but I think it was a triple barrelled system fed from drums and mounted on a two wheeeled carriage. The manufacturers mark puzzles me at this time. An interesting addition to the collection of Hispano rounds that I have, having never seen a nylon bodied example before.
