Height is 158 mm (158,5 actually of both!!), they do not look cut-off...
Rim diameter 137 mm

All measured with caliper

Both ww1 German, navy (kriegsmarine), 1915, both month X, lot 8 & 9.

Is this an export model?

I have one of these too, it is not sure but maybe they where used for a beute gun. The Russian M1910 122mm.

This is a good option, as the small size rim is not often found with the German cases. However, why naval marked if it is for this gun? or maybe, reworked German naval case, to fit the gun?

There where 2 schwere 12cm haubitze active in the Kaiserliche marine corps Flandern named Kreide / Radler. I have this noted with my shell case I have to look where the info came from.

Indeed German used for the Russian 122 mm M1910. Called 12.2 cm S.K. L/23 and 12.2 cm K. L/23 by the Germans. I have seen and owned a few of those.
