Very nice, but it would seem to be the wrong projectile for the 3UP5 (3УП5) round, which is abbreviated to UP5 (УП5) on the cartridge case.

The 3UP5 round should have the 3P8 (3П8) practice (inert) shaped charge (aka inert HEAT) projectile, not an inert high explosive projectile based on the 3OF18 (3ОФ18).

For note the long neck is so the fin stabilising unit at the rear of the projectile assembly is supported correctly during the initial stages of firing; i.e. as it transitions from the case to the bore.

I think mine is the second from the right in the picture
