13 pounder cases

[exat808]

The British Army retains the 13pr as a ceremonial gun and they are regularly seen firing Royal salutes. I am aware that there are 5 types of blank cartridge available -

Cartridge Blank 13 Pr 8 oz GP L1A1.Cartridge Blank 13 Pr 4 oz GP L2A1.
Cartridge Blank 13 Pr 2 oz GP L3A1.
Cartridge Blank 13 Pr 2 oz GP L4A1.
Cartridge Blank 13 Pr 1lb GP Mk3

I am wondering if anyone has any information regarding the age of the cases in current use? Has there been any new production over the years or are we re-using some very old cases?
