Unknown cartridge clip & list of others?

Can anyone tell me what this No. 53 or 55 Mk I cartridge clip fits? It is marked 1940 and I assume it's British, but the only case it will fit is a Russian 30 x 155B!

Also does anyone have a list of cartridge clips and which cases they fit? There doesn't seem to be any size order or chronology to the clip numbering system. I have so far compiled the following list but there are more I haven't shown and a few that I don't know.

III N - ?
No. 9 - ?
No. 14 III N - 3 Pdr
18 Pdr - 18 Pdr
No. 26 I - 6 Pdr?
No. 27 - 3" 20 Cwt
No. 30 I - 2 Pdr anti-tank
No. 31 (brass/steel) - 3.7" AA
No. 36 I - 6 Pdr 7 Cwt
No. 37 (steel) - 17 Pdr
No. 53 or 55 - ?
L2A1 (steel) - ?


Thanks, Graeme
