French 37mm High Explosive Projectile for Identification

[M8owner]

I looked through Gordon's materials on French 37mm rounds here in this forum, but I am still not certain what I have here. I found a box full of these. They have a fuse hole in the nose and a HE filler cavity. They are marked "SS" and "Paris". I believe these are Hotchkiss 37mm revolving cannon projectiles. I would appreciate your comments.

I'd say 37mm Model 1877-81 normally containing 22-23g BP and a DESMAREST fuze.
