This shell has been manufactured by modifying a 4.5 inch Howitzer shell. The nose of the shell is recessed and internally threaded to receive the nose fuze, while the base portion carries a threaded spigot for attachment to the shell ring of the rocket motor. The shell is painted dark green overall, with the designation stenciled in 1/2 inch yellow letters around the shell body.
No information about functioning.
