25 pdr CW filled rounds were still being produced well past this date, into the 50s.
This base with the filling plug was used on Mks 3,6,7,8,9 & 10.
Externally Mks 4,5,6 & 7 are identical, however the piston design on this projectile is that used on the Mk 10, but this isn't a Mk 10.
Additionally the fuze is the wrong model, should be a 221B or perhaps a 230P if it was a Mk 8.
