I am trying to ID these projos. Any other information would be most helpful as well.

Hello,
1 to 3 Repainted french 75mm bodies model 1900 or 1915 with chemical codes
First : code 12 FF - chemical filling "FRAISSITE" (lacry)
Second : should be painted green - code 5 CO "COLLONGITE" (phosgen)
Third : code 4 V - chemical filling "VINCENNITE" (acide cyanhydrique)
I can't remember if yellow and white bands are correct for these fillings, I need to check in my books (little bit complicated)

4: HE


5 French 75mm AL 16 (it's a kind of SAP shell)

6 Body of shrapnel french 75mm repainted with incendiary code (could be correct as incendiary 75 used bodies of shrapnel or HE shells)


Maybe the owner used this well known docs on chemical 75mm

For the second shell the owner used the D 435/5 Handbuch der Farbringmunition des Heeres (20.8.44), but apparently that German handbook is not so accurate with its colors. Or were these shells repainted by the Germans?
