Hogg's book British Artillery 1914-1918 has a picture of a 15pr headstamp in it but if you've not got the book, photo attached. Ignore the price label, definitely not for sale. 2pr
Case is 169mm long, rim dia 90mm. closure over charge is by a lid and case has 3 tabs like the naval cases. Yes that is a full date stamping. Gun introduced mid 1901, replaced in 1916, only 108 made and lots saw service outside Europe. Cases probably more common in southern Africa and Egypt, doubt if relatively many made anyway. 2pr
I suppose the only way you would find one today is probably a souvenir bought home by a soldier. It also has to have managed to survive over 100 years without being thrown out in a clearout.
