WW1 Serbian 75mm mountain gun? Krupp export?

The pictured case turned up recently, probably made in 1908 or 1913, and has me baffled. I can read a little Cyrillic, but some of the characters on this case are not familiar to me. I think the case is for a variation of the Krupp 75mm L14 M1904 mountain gun, however slightly longer, length...

I think all sorts of french naval cases are not very common to find. And also documents about them are hard to find. The small round B stamps are also typical on french naval cases - whatever they mean. Issy is for Issy-les-Moulineaux. Can look it up later but thought it was a Schneider factory.

Can you please give the case dimensions. Mouth, length and rim diameters to help with the case ID.
I realise you only asked for the headstamp translation but we like to know what you show us.
If 100mm French it could be a 100x700R, 100x814R, 100x820R or 100x869R French Navy case ??

Unfortunately I don’t have any other details. It was in an antique shop for £88. All i would say is that it’s almost a meter long.
 
Yes, it is French Navy, 100 mm, for guns type 91, 92, and 93, made in Issy Les Moulineaux, 4th Lot of 1906. Reloaded 2 times, the second time being in or just after 1935 as stated on the primer (SFM = Societe Française de Munitions).
