Unknown Bofors 37mm

I have been offered this casing and projectile combination. I looked at past posts on this site and have examples of Finish, Polish and Swedish head stamps. This case matches none of those. May I have your help identifying the country of origin?

Thank you for your help.

Both projectile and case are Finnish. Primer is not typical Finnish and looks more Swedish.
 
Forgot to add that S-stamp is maker: Hackman & Co, Sorsakoski works. Later on during war they stamped SH.
