It is indeed a 25lber, and appears to be a base ejecting smoke round. This had three smoke canisters in it which were ejected when the burster charge ignited, leaving a nice hollow projectile. Check the nose fuze as this should also be marked. It is perfectly safe and contains no explosives at all.

Thank you very much It's amazingly hard to just google this stuff, lucky there are experts like yourself!!

Either smoke or chemical fill. Fuze looks to be a No 230.
