20 x 145R Swedish Bofors.

I found another Swedish cartridge that seems interesting.
The projectile stamped M/42C by Bofors should be a HE-T yellow with a brass fuze? It has been inerted.
It has a steel plug solid fuze that may be a replica from a previous owner ? or some dummy/practice round. It looks original to the patina on the projectile.
It is 75mm long from below drive band to the tip so matches the references correctly.

The headstamp is: HG 4412 B 4468. Who is HG and is the B also Bofors? Odd stamp on other side of projectile.
All headstamp info is welcome. Is the 4 digit code 1944 and a lot number?
