Mrs. Grymster sent me to pick up a piece of furniture she bought at an estate sale last weekend. When I got there I found a pile of used brass, mostly .38 SPCL, which I can load for my kids. I decided to buy it and the lady there also threw in some spent 20mm cases.

They are about 107mm (4.25") long and are headstamped "E.K. 1943 20 M.M. Mk.2".

I think I'd like to make a dummy projectile for one or two of them, clean them up a bit and keep them as novelties.

Can anyone tell me anything about these, such as the type of gun they may have been used in and/or what the projectile may have looked like?
