The photograph shows a .9 Elswick case.
It is 198.5mm long and the rim diameter is 30.83mm.
Unfortunately I don't have a projectile for it but 2 types were made, a 6oz and an 8oz.
Limited trials were carried out in 1924 and after that no further development took place.
This round doesn't have a headstamp but it is understood it would be
0.9 inch
EOC
J
M
1918
The only information I can find on this round is in British small arms ammunition 1864-1938 (P Labbett). If anyone has any further information or even a spare projectile (I'm hopeing for a lot aren't I!) I'd be interested in hearing from them.
