  Rebated rim (smaller than case body), or standard rimless (same size as case body)?
  Rebated would be the 20x110 Orliken, rimless would be the 20x110 Hispano-Suza
  
  #2+3 are 20mm H-S (the case is a unfired empty), #4&5 are unfired 20mm Orli's. A fired Orli has a much different shoulder shape after firing, due to it's "blow forward" (the round is fired while the breachblock is still moving forward).
  There are some guys out there that do reload them, but they also make good display items (I know one guy that made a gitar string slider from one)
