1st is a Model 1940, 2nd and 3rd are model 1942. Original shells, I'm not so confident about the paint.

got to agree , the paint does look suspect but a in hand examination would be more beneficial

Hi and welcome,i agree with the others that these are original M35/M42 shells that have been re-worked,the last one especially looks to be sanded down. Leon.

and red oxide primer underneath...

Got a agree with the rest. Looks like semi relic M40 and M42's that, to me anyways, looks like that were being restored and the owner has given up. The pinky tan stuff looks like filler thats been sanded to me.

Good shells for restoration I guess but not much else

Hey it's probably too late but.

Shells are good. Paint is postwar acrilic paint and regarding red oxide primer I saw very very rare those primers mostly on M35
