Welcome to the forums !
Very interesting links and info. Many thanks.
It would be unusual (from what little knowledge i have of the manufacture of cartridges) for military mass production to produce rounds with incorrect dimensions, although not impossible. The damage caused to the weapon leads me to think if this was the case, there may be the odd 50cal and 20mm gun lying around !

SorryI can't shed any more light on this but I have also found a lot of cut down .50 cal cartridges around here, I usually just chuck them back in the hole, found quite a few in the field behind where there were AA positions covering the area behind the beah.
Cheers,
Steve
