Shell case identification needed

Hi all,
This was listed online as a 76mm of post wwii manufacture. I thought it might be from an m32 gun, but wanted to check it out here. Any possibility of it being an m1 76mm shell?
Thanks,
Nathaniel

I have possibly seen these cases at an arms fair, could be US T19E1 cases for the post WW2 towed anti -tank gun. The dimensions should be 76x580.
 
J'ai peut-être vu ces cas lors d'une foire aux armes, il pourrait s'agir de cas américains T19E1 pour le canon antichar remorqué d'après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les dimensions doivent être de 76x580.
Bonjour Vasco de Gama

76x580 ou 76,2x580 ?

Tank you
 
I believe the taper and neck are wrong for it to be the 76mm HV post war case.
