The general shape and measurments make me think to an austrian shell Böhler type.
The HE round M35 I know is quite different on top (no external thread). This thread seems to be made for a cap.

47mm Bhler shell
Hi, these measure 195 mm (so Italian) not sure how these end up on a flea market in Belgium however... Can someone confirm by these markings. I read MI and GP. Is the production year 1940 ? Are these "rare" or collectable?
