Marking for 25 practical pdr

HI. I found a photo of a 25 pdr training projectile online. It is not present in the marking lists for the P59 box steel. I was wondering if there were markings for this bullet in the P59 instead. Thank you
 
Good morning. On ebay I found this box steel for sale and it is clearly practice. Post war marking?

The markings on the small side of the box shows that this box was re-used by the Belgian army in 1955. AS-Mun was a belgian army ammo arsenal. After this, as we can see by the painting and markings on the front side, it had another life as a storage box for something (cone?).
