No 15 Mk II N (Naval)
C in the pentagon - M Cockburn & Co., Falkirk. (manufacturer)
KBY - ROF Kirby - Filling factory
The BH and XU more than likely examiners' marks.

I have the No15 Mk11 in 6Pr 7cwt. Also noted in 6Pr 6 Cwt and 6Pr 10Cwt.
The ones in the 6Pr 7Cwt do not have an N stamped on them. They are too large for the 2pr cases.
