This is up for bid on Gunbroker currently. As I have never seen one before, I am attaching the photos for your review.
Here is another thread on this site that clearly shows the tank case in official documents.

Thank you for the reference on the British version, Dave. The British cases are threaded or crimped at the top. You show the APDS sitting perfectly on top of the case. That is not possible with all the American projectiles; they would fall right into the case with the case mouth wider than the projectile. If I did not know any better, I would say the APDS was threaded on the case and loaded as a fixed round.
