Two other unknown shell cases for ID, most likely GB

Here another 2 shell cases for ID.

The first is a 36x199SR47 mm without head stamp that resembles a 37 mm 1.5 Pounder gun but is 9 mm longer.

The second is a 53x143R61 mm without head stamp. It does not look cut, but probably is cut very clean.

Any ideas?

The 37mm case looks like an unfinished 1 1/2pr COW gun case. I've had one in the past where the neck had yet to be trimmed to the correct size.
