Hello Mick,
There was a thread here on this some years back, with a lot of suggestions, but no real certainty. The Mk.III gun was a gun for submarines, and according to the handbook seemed to take the ordinary 2-pdr AA gun ammo. Could be for some sort of trials with the gun , but if so, there does not seem to be any record thereof that anyone has found.

There seem to be cases from SH&S, GC, and VSM that have this stamping on, so there must have been quite a few made.
