Reply With QuoteRichard,
I think that there is also a 95x205R separate round for the 95mm infantry howitzer.
Hogg has a picture in British and American Artillery of WW2 on page 39.
It is dated 1944 and shows howitzer with detachment and one of the crew is holding a separate case that is much longer than the base diameter.
He also states that "originally it was hoped to utilise the existing designs of ammunition used with the 3.7in howitzer, this was soon found to be impracticable and a complete new range was designed" and states the case was 8.1" long
