Recent find - 120mm Wombat shell???

So I think I came across a couple of fired TPT rounds for the 120mm Wombat.... Anyone have any pics of the training round and markings? What about the case.....

Anyone know what this symbol is???

The other shell...

Tank Round.

Hi Missing something, your projectile is in fact for a 120mm Tank !
Some of the markings are;-
120 MM TK=120mm Tank
P = Practice
PAT = Patricroft
12/73 is the date of manufacture
Sadly I forget what the SX is ?
Aluminium Base will have four Tracer cartridges (Copper cups containing element) let into the rim of the base.
See attached pictures-First one should be the 120mm Tank Practice with the second one being a 120mm BAT practice round.
120MM Tank uses a "caseless" Bag charge system and the BAT uses a conventional Brass case to house the propellant.
Practice projectile should be a light Blue colour with white stencilling.

The Arrow and "0" symbol look like this item may have been made by a subcontractor as it is not the normal "R.O.F." stamp.
