A bit of fun - identify this shell

[usmcdadx2]

OK Griz is closest but it is not an engine starter or has anything to do with aircraft...I'm thinking ignition cap/cartridge for a mortar round or illuminator(WL/IR) munition.

Canberra engine starter (jet engine)

No but good guess

It's one of those crocodile suppositories by crikey!

 

way too small!  

Obama would be the perfect size and for once he would be useful, he may as well give a croc the shits as well as everyone else!

Incorrect.
I didnt say it had nothing to do with aircraft!  

I said nothing to do with starting engines or jets (jet engines)

Reading comprehension is such an over-rated skill!

I'm at a loss at this point.  Your clue sends me deeper down the path of engine starters.  My experience is that there are many engines both piston and turbine, modern cycle both four stroke and two stroke, hit and miss antiques, small single horsepower to massive, small turbines to huge stationary turbine power units.

My only other direction, and your clue concerning Grizzle lead me away from it, was that it was part of an artillery load (projectile, powder packages, igniter).

I will sit back and watch.

OK, I just can't take it, so one more stab in the .... light of day:

Chaff deployment

Is it a 40mm shell from the 40mm cannon on the old Hawker Hurricane?

[usmcdadx2]

OK sticking with a theam here...primer for an AA round such as the Bofors???

[usmcdadx2]

And it seems I can spell either!
