13Pdr projectile info

[vickers303]

i just picked this one up today it is quite different from the pictures I've seen of 13pdr projectiles ....I'm guessing it may be an anti aircraft it has a proximity fuse on it. No 208 1944 but it may just be the wrong one just put there because it fits..... details stamped on the shell as follows

30
7
13.pr
I.C
B.S
D.A
W
4.39

any info would be appreciated
Thx Mark

my guess would be its for a 13pr 9cwt as the others were likely to be out of service by then. 13pr 9cwt was obsolete in British service 1921 but did remain in Canadian until later. Nice find.
