The equation of a cone (with longitudinal axis which
is the x-axis) is:

y^2 + z^2 = c^2 * x^2 where c is D/2H in this case.

So the equation for a slice through that (of constant
z value, say z=a) is:

y^2 = c^2 * x^2 - a^2

From that you should be able to get the area of the
top surface of a horizontal slice through the cone at
height a (from the axis of the cone) and then
integrate over the height parameter, a to get the
volume of the part in the cone end pieces.

I have more time tommorow. I'll have a crack at
actually turning the handle on the calculus
