**Unknown Ammunition on the U-853?**

Does anyone know what the following code stands for? It is inscribed on the stainless steel tip of the 2cm dia. x 8.7cm long lead projectile that was part of a shell
& case that was about 10" long total. It came up from the U-853.

453 2cm kpf.Z.Zerl.fg.coc 43

Also, it seem this is too small for any of the deck guns that were used? - any idea what this ammunition was used in?
