French 75 DE C cases are 350mm long. I think the other 2 cases are cut down.
 
The shorter cases have Bulgarian primer and the left case also shows a Bulgarian date designation (1939). I think they are cut down: the normal 75 mm has a 350 mm length, while Bulgaria adapted these cases for another gun their length is 282 mm. So both do not fit with your cases.
