I think the image is simply squashed in the vertical plane to fit the page. If you stretch it by 130% in the vertical plane, its length to diameter ratio is more like the Z-350, it's full GAU index 53-Z-350.
Before stretching...
After stretching...
Not exactly the same as the Z-350, but pretty close.
Plus this seems to be the same image, but the different book (Artillery Course - Volume II - Ammunition, Propellant and Explosives - 1952).
So both look more like the Z-350. Images from the 1949 book "Альбом Унитарных Патронов и их Элементов к 76-мм Орудиям Наземной Танковой и Самоходной Артиллерии'' below.
