Looks smaller in that pic. I too am guessing but closer to 37mm or 40mm I think.
It's 35x228R training ammo. Fired by the Oerlikon KD and 35/1000 series high-volume automatic guns, the Bushmaster III chain gun and the prototype Rheinmetall Rh503.
As far as systems go, these guns are used in:
- all G D F series anti-aircraft guns (aka Skyguard and Skyshield) (using KDA, KDB or 35/1000 guns)
- the G D M series naval turrets (aka Millenium and OTO Melara GDM-A/-C) (using 35/1000 or KDA/KDC)
- the Marksman SPAAG turret series (using KDA guns)
- other vehicles: Gepard SPAAG (KDA), CV9035 IFV (Bushmaster III), Marder 2 IFV prototype (Rh503)
Edit: G D F spaced. For whatever reason the forum software censors the word otherwise.

tp-t = Target Practise -Tracer. So it is a no explosive training round fitted with a tracer element.
It means quite simply that it is a round of ammunition used for target practise and that it has a tracer element built into it. It is used as it is less expensive than the explosive munition and as there is no explosive it does not have to be used on a special range facility.
I hope this helps.
