3" naval case (76x585R) - ID of country wanted

Does anyone know the country? The slash in the model designation reminds of Danish model markings. But I have some doubts with that.

My next best thought was Norway. Could this be true? I have no clue. Someone else?

The makers mark RA should be Raufoss here. But in fact, that is irrelevant for the country which used this model.
 
Thanks a lot. A good hint for further research. But I've found .... nothing until now.
Do you known the meaning of HAK?

I only know the Swedish term TAK = Tarn Automatisk Kanon (turret automatic cannon).
 
Yes, I saw that before. But unfortunately the thread doesn't explain HAK and there is no definitive connection to my M/64 MK 7 case.
