Well, the most obvious candidate is the 7,5 cm Gebirgskanone Krupp M.04 L/14. This particular gun was used by the Turks and the Bulgarians.
What are the dimensions of the cartridge case? Because if it is either Turkish or Bulgarian, it should be 75x117.5mmR90
Another, less likely possibility is the Dutch Navy 7,5cm Krupp L/13 landing gun, which uses a 75X169mmR90 cartridge.

75x118 case used in different mountain guns.
first observed (for me) was made by DWM in 1899 for the early Erhardt (later Rheinmetall) mountain guns.
Krupp mountain gun with this case was the 7,5cm Mod 1904, adpted by Peru, Turkey, Bulgaria (some source mentions as mod 1905), Switzerland as mod 1906. Other nations bought just few battery for test guns.
Guns differs from weight, range and elevation.
best regards
