Sorry about the delay in getting photos, but I had to wrangle up a couple of fired projos from the extras pile and pull a couple of unfired ones from cases.
The fired ones look just like yours with the same length and tracer. These unfired projos were made during the Korean war in 1952, and as you can see they were stamped on the rotating band, making them unreadable after firing.
These particular unfired ones are stamped TP-T T212, but would be the same measurements as the AP-T shown earlier. Projectiles labeled with a T number were test or experimental at that time. Later on the T designation went away for U.S. ammo, and the U.S. used XM in front of projo numbers to signify experimental. Hope this helps.
