British Incendiary WW2 ???

I got this item from a friend in Germany, this should be an incendiary.
The only markings I could find were SW&C in a circle, with underneath what seems to a number 0ne, on the brass fuze.
I would like to built the tail section, does any body have those dimensions, and the fabrication process (thikness of the metal used, welded or rivetted, fixation to the bodyplates.
The lenght of the body is about 40,5 cm of the body and frontal section and fuze about 47 cm, the diameter is about 12,3 cm

Thanks

Luc
