I would like to get identification help for this 20mm projectile.

It has brass fuze,copper driving ring and two separate interior cavities(HE-T?).Some traces of black color.No anykind of markings on the projectile or detonator.

I also agree. From evidence above, I am no expert on 20mm, but I found a good match on page 85 of Lenselnk's book,20-138-36 listed as italian.
 
Here is few pictures after i removed the forced M10 thread screw tap from inside.Somebody has drilled about 9,5mm hole between tracer/explosives cavities and forced M10 thread screw tap inside.It has propably been part of somekind of remembrance item before.
