It's not for Chieftain - the calibre there was 120mm
Centurion or Light Gun, possibly Abbot even.

As I said I would stand corrected the round is from the L7 gun, I thought that was fitted to the early chieftain but it was clearly not, it was never however used with abbot or the light gun although still 105mm they are artillery and use a shorter straight walled case.

IIRC its a practice (solid shot) round for the Royal Ordnance L7 tank gun.

Thanks for all the info on this, just been looking up the L7 and am amazed at the amount of tanks that this was used on, from its early days with the Centurion right up to the present day. Interesting stuff
