90x352R ID case manufacturer

Not sure what it stands for, but based on the head stamp of the case I suspect Belgium manufacture.
 
The EC-90 was the Belgian Cockerill 90mm cannon license built by Engesa in Brazil that equipped Brazilian Cascavel EE-9 armored cars.
 
Indeed, when I got the case I also had a Belgian "feeling" about it, but I've never seen or heard of EEB as a belgian manufacturer. Maybe a brazilian connection like M8owner says? Hope someone can identify EEB.
I include a picture of the same case made by the belgian company MMJ and filled by PRB. It has many resemblances with the EEB-case.NR501A2HE-T.jpg
 
I can guess at EEB standing for ENGEQUIMICA, Brazil ? They made 90mm Ammunition for the EC-90 Gun.
This gun was further developed by Engesa Engenheiros Espacializados SA in Brazil and fitted to Brazilian made vehicles EE-9 and EE-11.

With all these EE codes you can see why I guess Brazil and the main ammunition maker of the 90mm .Needs confirmation.
 
Still don't know the meaning of EEB, but from info i've seen I think it's brazilian made (Imbel) for export. Found this EEB-marked crate (in Belgium).
