Looks like a fin stabilised armoured car round, about 90mm. Could be HEAT, HE, ... Black? To make it look tacticool?

Last 2 correct Jims bang on correctly nailed it a 106mm HEATFS round I should dig out when I took the head apart it has the copper cone in there for the shaped charge I aquired it off a member here for a good price in a bulk lot that was agreeable to us both and I am very happy with the outcome of some of the items after a smidge of TLC and limited resto.
I already had the case just not the hardware that went in it.

Projectiles are scarce. We shot lots of them both heat and practice...didn't know I needed to pick up all the ones that missed during winter as they would be caught by snow and be perfect. Didn't think they'd be valuable these days, 40 years on...

Found it this is before I mini resto'ed it but you can see the shaped cone the wire looking piece on the left is that from the fuse to the charge that sits behind the cone!
Its a fairly hefty projectile as the walls are quite thick I suppose to hold together whilst the penetration happens of the armour.

Only the molten jet of steel penetrates the armor. The copper cone holds the explosive in shape. When it blows the explosion melts everything and makes it a molten slug that burns through the armor, leaving a small hole where it enters... Any left lying around after firing had huge rifling marks on the outside. So, yours was deactivated from live.
