Belgian 75mm DTCA M27 projectile

Hi,

I happened to come across a shell case 75mm M27 DTCA for a Belgian anti-aircraft gun.
The shell case is manufactured by FN in 1938. It's a 75x545R type, I think, based on measuring the case length.
I'm looking for more information about the ammunition used in this gun.
Especially interested in how the projectile looks like, what type of fuzes where used and which company manufactured the guns.
Can't find anything on internet...
Below some pictures of the shell case with a French 75mm schrapnell projectile as reference.

Anyone have some information for me?

Many thanks in advance!

I have the same case, and I've also been looking for the projectile for a long time (and I have the same problem as you... it's really hard to look for something if you don't know what you're looking for...).
I only have the following image showing the gun with ammunition, but it's not really a big help...
