1940 dated No.9 Mk.III primer

Hi,
Having just acquired an example of the above, could anyone let me know what cases it potentially could have been fitted to when made?
Thanks,
Mark

I have the no.9 as 4.5in fixed ammunition but it could be in others as well.

I don't know if it helps, but the flash tube is 4 7/8in long.

Following a clean I can see it is marked:

No9 III TG 1940

And then:

88
CY 3-41
6

Thanks for any info.
