The base plate carries a threaded spigot which screws into the shell adapter of the rocket motor. Set into the explosive filling at the nose end of the shell is an exploder container with two perforated and one solid CE booster pellets. The shell may be alternatively filled with Amatol or an upper layer of TNT and a lower layer of Amatol. If the former filling is employed, a TNT surround is located around the exploder container. The shell is painted buff overall.
