Yugoslavia sub-cal for the 120mm M63 Mortar.

This sub-cal for the Yugoslavian 120mm mortar seems a bit unusual.
References on internet and UXO mention a 24mm diameter sub-cal round. This one is 30.5mm diameter.
It looks like the M52 shown but is larger. Do 2 different diameter M63 mortars exist or is that an error in dimensions?

It is aluminium with a steel nose, firing pin etc. 250mm long and 30.5mm diameter.
4 holes in tail and looks like it should have a clip on the tail end that is missing.

Clearly stamped BM-120, M63. 2nd line looks like TK MO? 6801 BK ??
Any information is welcome for correct ID.
