If the shell is short about 24" or less and straight (not coke bottle shaped near the mouth/open end) it is NOT a tank shell. It is an artilley shell going to a 105mm field gun (howitzer). 105mm tank shells (coke bottle shaped near the mouth of the shell) were ammunition for the M60 Combat Tank (referred to from 1962 onward as MBTs-Main Battle Tanks). The M60 Combat Tank did NOT serve in Vietnam; it served in Europe (Germany) with the peacetime US Army. Patton Tanks in Vietnam were M48s, which fired 90mm shells (again coke bottle shaped near the mouth). Both the 105mm & 90mm tank shells are nearly indentical in length and shape, only their bores (caliber) are different. Prior to 1970, many M48 Patton 90mm tank shells were made of BRASS. After a transitioning phase, the brass gave way to cheap sheet metal casings. By 1970 most of the 90mm Patton tank shells being fired were made of that cheap metal.
