on the body it is marked

there is a number stamped near the top 6718 with a C broadarrow
what is really strange to me is that it looks like it has a one piece machined body with a steel fuze which really seems to be part of the machined projectile there is a stricker/plunger at the tip ..there are no settings on the steel fuse .
im used to seeing these shells with the brass fuze i have never seen one with a steel fuze/plunger set up
one last thing what colour would this be painted i would like to re paint the correct colours ..
Thank You
