WWII Russian 57mm Arrowhead APCR Armor Piercing Projectiles - ZIS-2 Antitank Gun

I did not realize there were two different designs used in WWII until I made a new aluminum nose cone for one.

Nice one, looking forward to see it in a nice WW2 case.

M8, Nabob or others --- is there any decent literature out there for the 57mm rounds, preferably WW2 period.
I am aware of two APCR variants UBR-271P & UBR-271N (which I think is post war) but I'm certainly not aware of any design differences or which came first.
I have no data on multiple arrowhead versions of the BR-271P projectile, but like the 76.2mm, we know they exist.

Here is another example of the "long" body style.

Hello.
M8owner The one on the right is very nice

This is a table I've found for you guys. No guaranties everything is correct as it is only a webpage screen shot with my simple translation.


Not every projectile I've caller "AP arrowhead" has to be an arrowhead, could be just a subcaliber but I've never seen any different ones than arrowheads in this type of ammo.

I have example of both 45mm and 57mm Soviet arrowhead shot in my collection, but they are in such immaculate condition that I have assumed that they are replicas.

An original UBR-271P, both case and projectile dated 1943. I think the German moniker for captured examples was "5,7cm Pak 208(r)".
