unknown mortar round

[Toranaga]

All,

Anybody ever seen this?
My guess: Practice round (drill) for the 71 mm LYRAN mortar round, however I did not find any document backing me up ....

Thanks,
Laurens

looks like the bottom section of a 81 mm illumination mortar.

Match with family of Belgium 71mm BG83 Illuminating. Maybe practice.
The top has a different shape on illuminating (narrowing top for fixing illuminating body)

I agree with MINENAZ16, what you have is the bottom part of a belgian 71mm Tk ILL M83BG.
On my picture, look the difference of tail between the sweden 71 mm Lyran (left) and the belgian 71 mm M83Bg (right).
The blue color of your second part will effectively indicate a practice one, if practice is common with illuminating projectiles. I'm not sure if they are other payloads in this specifical calibre !
May be.......


May the force be with you :hello::hello::hello::hello: !

As I wrote, from the family of 71mm Tk but not exactly same shape (different shape for fixing body top on ill. model.)
