French Mortar

Hello to you all. I know nothing about mortars at all, so please excuse my ignorance in asking this question.
I went to a market in France at the weekend and purchased quite a few artillery shell cases and projectiles. Amongst them was a brass case that is completely unknown to me.
It reads, on the head, " MORTIER TH" and is dated 1931. It is a bottlenecked case, 155mm long with a head measurement of 48mm and a calibre of 37mm. I say bottlenecked, but in fact it has two bottlenecks which is weird. Hope someone can help identify this for me. Thank you in advance. Sorry, but I have not yet fathomed out how to post pictures.
