Help to Identify and Metric Dimensions of an Artillery Shell Case Headstamped LORENZ ٭ KARLSRUHE ٭

Can any help me to identify and get metric dimensions of the Artillery Shell Casing in the Photo. I recently recovered it on the 1891 Lugalo Battlefield in Tanzania. It is here the German Schutztruppe fought the Hehe tribe and defeated.

The rim and body measure about 60 mm and 50 mm.

Which mountain gun used it?
Where I get the details of the gun and photo?

Help will the appreciated and acknowledged in the academic paper to be published.
