Projectile 30mm ADEN?

Found it inside an ADEN shell. Not sure if it has been incorrectly paired?

Can anyone identify the projectile?

I am not certain but all my Adens are domed/round bases and the Defas are usually flat based. I hope this helps you.
 
I've had a few of these in the past and I think that the head is from the USA 30mm GAU. Depotman
 
I agree with depot man, 30mm TP for the GAU-8. Cheers, Bruce.
Interestingly enough. I brought this from a guy who I also brought a gau-8 shell from.. or that's what thought. As I believe it is a RARDEN round now. Could it be from that ?

I don't know about the projectile in your first photo, but your last photo is of the base of a RARDEN case. AFV is short for `Armoured Fighting Vehicle' and the L17 primer is correct for that case.
