Type 97 57mm Tank Gun ballistics curves

I raised this question originally in the USA 1919-1945 board. Its moderator reasonably suggested that I put it to this forum board:

Does anyone have or know how to get ballistics curves for the Japanese Type 97 57mm tank gun?

This gun was generally mounted in the Type 97 Medium Tank "Chi-Ha".

Background information is available here: Aircraft guns and bullet behavior-Post 25.

And more general information is available here: San Khayom Bridge Point G.

I thank you.

Japanese firing tables may exist. A late war U.S. intelligence report advised that the few Type 97 57mm guns captured during World War II by the U.S. Army were inoperable, hence no U.S. data.
