In game terms, It has the same effect and matches the same gun on the Centurion AVRE.

High-explosive squash head (HESH) is a type of explosive ammunition that is effective against tank armour and is also useful against buildings. It was fielded chiefly by the British Army as the main explosive round of its main battle tanks during the Cold War. It was also used by other military forces, particularly those that acquired the early post-World War 2 British 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7A1, including Germany, India, Israel and Sweden. In the United States, it is known as HEP, for "high explosive, plastic".

Based on the chassis of the M60 Patton tank, the armament was changed from using the 105mm M68 rifled tank gun used on the standard M60/A1/A3, to a 165mm M135 short-barrelled demolition gun with 30 rounds of HEP (high explosive, plastic) ammunition

The American M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle variant of the M60 Patton tank used the M135 gun patterned after the British 165 mm.[3]

Ammunition for the M135 165mm gun is issued in fixed complete rounds. A complete round consists of all ammunition parts needed to fire weapon once. It consists of an electric primer and propelling charge contained in a cartridge case and a fused projectile. The cartridge case is threaded onto the base of the projectile. The term "fixed" used with ammunition means that propelling charge cannot be changed. A round is loaded into the gun as a unit.

Crewmen may have called it "high explosive Projectile" but nobody else does and everyone else agrees that HESH and HEP are the same thing and that the M728 carried 30 of them which is why it's set up like that in the game.
