Not necked , same form as a 2Pr pom pom , but shorter.

What is the rim diameter? There is a 40x151R51 case, Austria WW1
 
there was a dutch 40x157R48, but with slight bottleneck and screwed in primer
 
Alpini, correct, but that is a normal 2-pounder. The rim diameter fits the 2-pounder, I think the case is shortened. There is also a 40x213R48 case....but then still shortened. How does the primer look like?
 
hello

here the pics
the case seems not shortened
