Fert,

Is the fuzewell the same thread diameter to take a 2 inch diameter fuze as the M48 projectile?
 
Hello Fert,

Very proud to be able to help you !

Your shell looks like a french "75mm modle 1952" (use for example on EBR Panhard gun)DSCN0663 - Copie.jpgebr75%20manuel%20munitions.jpg800px-EBR_cote.jpg

Hi,

@hazord: the hole is smallest, right for french adapter.

@minenaz16: Did you have any info on 75 SA 49?

best regards
