30mm Steel Case

[LCplCombat]

Found 5 of these 30mm x 170mm cases and links the other day, need an ID for them.

Steel case painted green. The head stamp consists of:

094 at 12 o'clock
BM at 8 o'clock
99 at 4 o'clock

Primer is white metal stamped with
GD at 10o'clock
029 at 2 o'clock
o4 at 6 o'clock

The links are made of two pieces pinned together in the center and has a stamp:
ROS A0404
or
MFT A/97

Over to you

A litle help, the only thing I know is that MFT is "metaalwaren fabriek Tilburg" metalware factory tilburg in the Netherlands. (I did some days military quality control over there.

If its Dutch and 30mm could it be goalkeeper?

In my opinion these are Oerlikon KCB cases. Definately not Goalkeeper, it uses 30x173 rounds with aluminum cases.

What does KCB stand for? I saw some more in a C238 mk2 box last week marked up as TP/TP-T but the KCB elduded us.
