Unknown 105mm - BE Smoke?

[peregrinvs]

A friend of mine picked this up for me at the Overlord Show today, although it didn't dawn on me until post purchase that the upper drive band has been removed. (It wasn't expensive) It was sold as a British 105mm smoke shell, but I can't find a match. The nearest I have found is an 105mm M393 HEP-T with twin drivebands, but I can't find a match for what remains of the paint job. Could someone pin down what it is and point me towards an illustration?

Thanks,
Mark

I am quite shure it's a 105 mm HEP / HESH

Like pzgr40 says, looks like a 105mm HEP M393 projectile.

Thanks. Is this a howitzer or tank projectile?

Double rotating band HEP-T are for the tank gun. Single rotating band are for the Howitzer.

The WP-Smoke projo is the same body, different model number and colors.

Yours is painted service colors for a live HEP-T. Make sure you can see inside!

Thanks. Awaiting further info from my friend when he gets back from Overlord.

Currently wondering if it's a British 105mm TK Prac Flash projectile. (Assuming the paint is actually blue rather than green) I've found a picture of one on here and it has both the double drive band and the yellow band near the top.
