are you trying to be funny? 
I think it's a HEAT round but i can't find any pics of it. I thought it would be easy but it hasn't been.

AP, APT, HE or Hollow charge...probably AP
My buddy (the armor nerd) corrected me, he says this is the proper designation according to the round colors:
75mm SPRGR. PATR. 42 [High-Explosive shell used mainly against soft targets. Cartridge has a tracer
