Identify 57 mm

[Yodamaster]

Should someone can help me with the identification of this 57 mm cartridge ?

Marking of the case :

57mm L/60
B with arrow through it
NP bracket together (I think Sweden : B Norma Projektilfabrik, 670 40 Amotfors, Sweden)
51 02

No marking on the shell, apparently the fuze is a dummy fuze.

It is a 57mm Bofors round. The B with arrow through the middle to the right is the Bofors logo.

NP bracket together (I think Sweden : B Norma Projektilfabrik, 670 40 Amotfors, Sweden)

Correct, this is the case maker.
