I am assuming that this is the fortress version of the Mle 1925 naval manually-loaded AA gun, using 37 x 277R ammo. The fortress or casemate version was actually known as the Mle 1934 (at least, the one in service in 1940 was).
The Mle 1934 loadings were:
APC (900 g steel shot with magnesium windshield, fired at 815 m/s)
HE Mle 1938 (in the process of being approved in 1940).
