3.7cm Flak18

Another one that's new to the lot. One of my first German pieces. As I don't have much in the way of reference material for large caliber German munitions, I'm asking for details on this round. Drawings, pics, whatever. I've identified it as a 37 x 263B Flak18/36/37/43. (Thanks again to Anthony G Williams and his website).

Is the projectile appropriate for the hull? Does all this go together as it sits? Does the "silver" hull denote maritime usage? And where can one find a correct primer?
