Case identification needed

[morser124]

Good day. I have had this case in my possession for a while. I think it’s japanese but not 100 percent. Would like some help with identification please.

Any help would be great. Thankyou

There is a 75 x 292R listed in Hawkinson's book as a L/28 ex Krupp Naval gun, Netherlands

It’s Japanese.

From memory a Type 38 field gun.

The case is dated showa [FONT=&amp]昭和 [/FONT]14 十四 5 (May 1939) manufactured at Osaka Army Arsenal (crossed cannon symbol).
The fuse is dated showa [FONT=&amp]昭和 [/FONT]17 十七 11 (November 1942) manufactured at 1st Tokyo Army Arsenal (the star symbol).

Edit: Have a look at pages 122, 123, 125 in the document at this link, it was used in the following guns;
Type 38 field gun
Type 41 cavalry gun
Type 38 improved field gun
Type 95 field gun
Type 94 mountain gun
Type 11 year field/AA gun
