20x138mmB Marine

I have this 20x138mmB stamped Marine on the headstamp and on the projectile, it is an self destruct tracer projectile with brass fuze, I think it is German / Italian, comments welcome, thanks

HE is not my "forte", but this might just be an early German HE-T, as used with naval 2cm C/30.

Thanks pzgr40/42, you could be right about that

Should be a 2-cm Sprgr. Patr. L’spur. m. Zerl. for 2-cm FlaK C/30 , this fuze I believe is the A.Z. 5045 (Messing) , but there is a variant that is marked EKzdr C/30.
