Shell for mountain gun

AE501

HONOURED MEMBER RIP
I have had this radiograph photo for40 years and have just found it again.
It is believed to be a shell for an Austrian mountain gun but this may be wrong.
Any ideas?

I would say that's a 37mm Austrian George Roth bouncing HE round, Circa WW1.

According to the manual it is called 37 mm B-Granate (Brisantgranate).
The gun is 37 mm Infanterie-Geschütz L/10 M15

This is one of my favorite 37mms. I have 11 different projectiles in this case and an Italian case as the Italians used captured guns and made their own ammunition.
