I've been told, on good authority, i.e. I believe this fellow, that last year (2012) there was fired a 1943 105mm gun/howitzer with 1943 ammo from the Normandy coast into the channel to celebrate the anniversary of the embarkation. These were HE rounds and they had zero problem with any of the ammunition.
