We refer to "rounds" as the whole thing usually. It can also mean just the projectile. That's probably what they meant in the article.
As far as the fixed ammo in the poster, the casing has been elongated by the artist, but it's 3"/50 ammo. We still have cartridges with wooden projectiles for decorative purposes at different Gunner's Mate schools.
