Pretty sure French. Guessing the white denotes drill version.
This color combination is new to me.
French Brandt Design with dummy fuze but as far as I know no grey paint for this kind of shell.
Practice (inert weighed) short range (reduced charge) model 1932 should be all white for French use.
Same all white was used by Swiss but with burster and smoke filling.
Grey bodies were used by Italians (but with orange head for HE), Swiss (Yellow head for HE), Swedish (prac, smoke, He), etc. Nothing with white head.
