Case found today. 13 pounder 9 CWT.

Does any one have a photo of the complete round ?

Did it use the standard 13 pounder projectile?~~

Yes, it used the standard 13pr projectile.

There is a photo of the complete round in Hogg & Thurston's "British Artillery Weapons & Ammunition 1914-1918", page 228.
 
The book doesn't say. Shrapnel and HE shells are mentioned, and the fuze on the HE type is quoted as: "No. 80/44 time over N0. 44/80 percussion".
