What is this Bakelite disk for?

A guess, but maybe a US-produced training item to represent a foreign mine; I don't recognise type (which may or may not be bakelite itself) it is supposed to depict though...
Can you elaborate on this?
Challenger was a separate loading QF design.. the projectile and cart case were loaded separately to reduce the size of the round in the turret...
I THINK this may be the closing cup that went on the end of the cart case.. the raised cross being an identification mark.. This is going back in my memory a long way, so I may be wrong!
