I think that "Defence Contre Avion" is the right meaning for DCA.
I also think that it is a Swiss dummy with, for me, an unusual headstamp.
I have an early Swiss 20x110 HS404 dummy also with green fired primer and white bullet.

Hello,
Herewith pictures of Swiss cases. Same markings, so I also think it's a Swiss round.
I've never seen DCA (= AA - Défense Contre Avions) stamped on french cases.
On pictures we can see other letters so maybe a code for lot or factory stamps (so maybe no sense for DCA)
