I am a little bit out of my comfort zone here, 2 x 6" Projectiles most likely recovered in New Guinea.
No markings visible on either. Top one is 710mm in length, bottom 490mm (missing nose fuze).
What are they please? X Posted in IAA.
Regards Peter

Hello,
1 : Similar to US 155mm M7 Dummy round. M7B1 I know is less conical on top (variant or someone made a new screwed head)
2 : US 155mm Mk1 Dummy round
