They must have made quite a few of these as one comes up for sale in the US about every year. They are not 75mm, they are always in a Russian 76mm or 3 inch case. I believe American Can Company also made the cases as there are Russian 3 inch cases out there with the "A.C.Co." mark. These always have this same French fuse. I have another example (not for presentation) US made, 3 inch HE shell for Russia, that is threaded for a French fuse. As a matter of fact, the fuse adapter on a US Mark 1 75mm HE is the exact same as the fuse adapter for the Russian shell (and this presentation shell).
