It is in fact Spalling we Brits effectionately call them "scabs" that come of on the inside of the turret and severly messes up a crews appearance obviously caused due to the CE created from the round hitting the outside, also just a point ZRAVER the points yuo mentioned regarding the rifled barrels and the stability of APFSDS, while there was some initial problems they were soon overcome and corrected, but the problems were no where near as bad as it sounded the way you wrote.
