Andy, your case is for a 40x53mm South African made target practice smoke and flash round M9426A1 used by the British Army. You should be able to find one quite easily.
Source of info: Janes Infantry Weapons.
 
Many thanks Roller63 and thank you do you have a pic of a complete round and are they different to the M9426A1 see pic
Regards
Andy

They look the same, probably some small modification to the way they operate, maybe made of slightly different materials, an updated version.
