50 CAL SHELL?

I have had this for about 10 years now I just now ran across it again it was given to me from a friend of my mom's who was in Vietnam. I was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me more about it? this is what is reads on the shell

around the shell reads

28113791-001F
30 MM TP PGU-15/B
H JA87F012-022


Bottom of the shell reads

28107310-Y
USE87C017-038
 
Now thinking 30 mm since it says 30mm on part of the stamping on it
 
I think I found out about it with some research it seems to be a TP target Practice shell
PGU-15/B - Target Practice (TP): A ballistically matched, low cost TP cartridge for use in training, weapons
testing, and aircraft systems checkout
 
Thats nowhere close to a .50 cal in size. Heres a comparision to a few different shells, .50 BMG is shown on the bottom row and your 30mm is bottom row far right.
