This picture shows a captured Wehrmacht data sheet for the PaK 97/38:

The gunners who used this sheet had two types of ammunition: a 6.8 kg Polish AP shot (the 7.5 cm K.Gr. Pz. (p)) and a 4.8 kg ‘French’ HEAT round (the 7.5 cm Gr.38/97 HL/C (f)). I’d guess that the Germans may also have used the other HEAT and HE rounds listed in wikipedia.

After looking at the data sheet again I've realised that it provides more information about the ammunition used by the gun in the bottom right hand corner - under 'Patronen.' There is a list of four types of HE shell (Sprgr.) along with the two anti-tank rounds I mentioned earlier. The HE shells might be those listed in the wikipedia. I should have looked through the whole form before I posted it.
