Those rounded projectiles on the two gold painted 106mmRR casings are spin stabilized HEP (High Explosive Plastic "squash-head" rounds").
Dianaa I have no idea how the 105mm RCL compares to the 106mm RR. If you have dimensions, etc, something could be made up. Specs on the 106mm ammo is easily found with a google image search and you can compare to your casings.
I'm hearing a couple of requests for 17pdr rounds. 17pdr AP could be done, but a quick google search doesn't turn up any ammunition dimensions/specs (the 105 and 106mm projectile specs were readily available). I'm currently also looking for 25pdr ammo specs as I have several casings that need to be filled.
Try your local woodturner guild-probably save you a bundle on shipping and it allows the projectile to be fitted to the casing or if you have an example from a museum, etc, it can be used as a template. Many of my casings had some variation due to denting, etc. A commercial operation with a copy lathe (like a spindle factory) would be ideal...all of mine were freehand copies.
