Actually if you look here you'll see the ammunition type is listed as 'Fixed', meaning it's all one piece, just like a modern bullet. Separate ammunition was mostly 6" and larger.

Other than that, I agree completely. |
According to that site, the 4"/40 QF Mk XIX was only used on some Flowers. The more popular armament for Flowers was the WW1-era
4"/45 BL Mk IX which did use seperate ammunition.
