I've seen these with and without tabs on the mouth to retain a cardboard wad.
I saw one identical to this one yesterday (no mouth tabs) but it had no date and the maker was EDC - the E and the D were together like EOC but it definitely wasn't EOC.
Also I was wondering what the raised up section around the primer was for, as I haven't seen this before.
These 4.7s were a naval gun and some were fitted with wheels and used in a land service role in the Boer war.
