Bruce was kind enough to PM me but I have just been swamped recently.

I faced the same problem a while a number of years ago and used resin casting as the solution. My thought process was that I only needed to see the butt end inserted into a rack (for a CVRT) and therefore was happy with an incomplete round.

I used model paint to colour the brass end and a light beige for what bit of the body there was. I used children's Plasticine to take up the space and secure the rounds in the bore of the hole in the rack.

I thought I could lay my hands on the completed set but sadly I am wrong, yet again, maybe its an age thing.

My originals were un printed on the sides FYI.

I will want some again in the future and might go another route of CNC turning them in bass wood and painting them as we have done for some rounds we have made.

My thanks to Bruce for the offer.
