I have an AS 12 case (64 x 170R) dated 1959 which I believe was for the Limbo A/S mortar, but I don't know the AS 13.
 
1 The case was made by E. Curran & Co of Cardiff (EEC) Lot 22 1955

2 The case was reworked at RNAD Trecwn in 1959

3 Am only guessing as it could be for the A/S mortar light MK 4

3 The MK 6 Projectile used a 29 ozs charge .The MK4 used 12 ozs charge

4 As the case is marked 13 I think its for the light projectlle

Hope this info helps
