Interesting item. In my collection I have both the normal case (130x674) and a blank (130x449). They are for the French 130 mm L/40 navy guns. To my knowledge they are called Model 1919 and/or 1920 and/or 1924. First time I see MANEUVRE as a stamp on such a case.
 
Here the images of my cases. The bottom with clear ink markings is the full case.
