L/3.8 is about 553mm long with cap but different shape on base (cut)
L/4.3 is about 636mm long with cap. Same shape.

I have this picture in my archives and I think it's a 15cm L/4.3 without cap (fitted with adapter). Very similar to your shell.
The shell is placed on a wooden board on the picture.
In smaller calibre rounds the caps were soldered on, wouldn't be surprised if this was too.
This, being an adapter, might have been fixed some other way. I'm sure "Minen" can give a definitive answer.
