15cm caartridge .... possibly Austrian ?

[charley777]

Hello ..
Is this cartridge case Austrian?
It is 15cm calibre
Length is 185mm
Rim diameter is 169mm
See photos for base stampings.
That " R " reminds me of an Austrian marking.
T L H ....Turm Leichte Haubitze ???

Case shown with another recent acquisition 211x410R
Any information greatly appreciated
Thanks !

If I remember right T.L.H. was the french factory Tréfileries et Laminoirs du Havre. But Headstamp is unusual for french cases. For sure not austrian. Most probably made for export.

Case made by TLH for Belgium, period around WW1 (not WW2).

Thank you
So would the calibre have been 150 or 149mm ?
Any idea of the gun(s) that used this case?
Cheers

149,1 cm but often called 15 cm. Not sure which type, but I also think the Schneider as already mentioned.
