WW1 German export to Turkey Krupp mountain gun

Pictured is what I think is a case for the Krupp L14 M1904 mountain gun, unless Rheinmetall exported guns used the same ammunition! The case is 119mm long, with a rim of 89mm and clearly made by Rheinmetall in 1916, this is the first case I have found for this weapon with a Turkish script primer in place. Thanks to Alpini we understand the meaning of this script to be Friedrich Krupp. I guess this is another souvenir of the conflict in Palestine and Iraqi brought home after WW1.
