25Pr/3,45" HE shell markings

I'm currently restoring one of my 25Pr HE shells and as I have some 1938 dated 117 fuzes, I'm planning to make it as an early 3,45" shell.
Has anyone ever seen an original 3,45" shell, or maybe some pictures? I wonder how these were marked.
 
Hello Stuka,

I believe I misread your original post.

None the less, these are 3.45's cases that I once collected.

Cheers,
