Deciphering marks on my austrian casing

Hello all,
I am trying to decipher the marks on my austrian casing here, which appears to have restamps if i am correct? The 521 above the model of the gun that is lightly stamped i believe is a lot number? what is your opinions? Also there is two stamps of the date and also austrian markings, any ideas on why that is necessary?
Regards,
frijoles

from the bottom up:

10cm M.14: 10 cm M.14 field howitzer
521: lot number
1916: date of case production
MW-monogram: factory of the case: Manfred Weiss in Csepel/Budapest, Hungary
CS-double eagle-16: acceptance stamp consisting of: City of Csepel (today part of Budapest), austrian state crest, year of acceptance
V-is most probably "verifiziert", something like "inspected"
