Hi
this shell was used as AA HE fitted with 180 or 80/44 fuzes and under 44/80 as detonator system.
in place of 44/80 can be used an adapter N11 for G2
This shell can be used on 3 in 5cwt& 20cwt and also 13 & 12Pr
On left picture 3 in 20 cwt and on right 13 pr 9 cwt

Is that an external tracer fitted to the base? What is the brass piece on the end?

 

[doctor]

Hi
The brass piece on base shell is night tracer
Plug can be screwed when tracer is not usefull
