French 47mm Shell and Projectile ID Assistance

[Legion]

Hello,

I was hoping to get some information on this item. Have read other posts suggesting that a similar shell was used in a French airplane gun, though I understand the R to indicate a revolving type gun. The head stamp on this is 47 R. MA. I. 10 8-17. No markings on the projectile, the cap is solid metal and projectile is hollow with some gray paint. Base of projectile is solid with a small raised bump. Shell is 140mm high and shorter than the projectile.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello.

Perharps the model 1888 (or 1888 Modified), but I can't ID the fuze. May you add more pictures (especially the fuze) ?

There will be a difference between the Revolving Cannon projectile in 47mm and the Higher velocity 3Pr kind which will have the same kind of band but be longer.
