Hi Jan,

MK 101/3 ammo photo attached as promised.

The pointed projectile is the Hartkernmunition developed for anti-tank work.
The other 30x184B case is loaded with an early-pattern Ausf. A M-Geschoss.
The short 30x90RB case for the MK 108 is included for comparison, and also
to show the more streamlined Ausf. C type of M-Geschoss.  Both M-Geschoss
types were used in both MK 103 and MK 108.

By all means post the pic and info on the AH website if you wish (I've never
bothered to find out how!).  I don't mind how you use the pic as long as the
source is acknowledged.
