75mm projectile ID

This is a 75mm WW1 projectile with part fuze. I'm trying to find out the nationality, get a picture or diagram of the correct fuze and details of the case or cases (and guns) it would have been used with.

Many thanks in anticipation.

I do not know what this is, but based on the markings I would think French (the "I" with the curved top and bottom, on the bottom of the projectile).

Thanks for that. What made me think this was some other nationality was the driving band is not typically French. I thought perhaps Belgian but again the driving band is not standard.
