Unknown 30mm Armor Piercing Projectile (Pre-WW2?)

I bought this on Gunbroker as it was inexpensive and interesting. I thought it might be an Italian 37mm tank AP projectile from before WWII. However, it is 30mm exactly in diameter across the body, and the driving bands are 31.5mm wide - about 100mm long. It also has a sheet metal ballistic tip - very unusual for a small round. I look forward to your observations.
