Pack howitzer cases are not hard to find in the US, but this one is unusual. It is also an M5, and not the much more common M5A1. It also has surviving ink stamps. First time I have seen that.

I've never seen one with ink stamping either. Good find! It looks like its been reloaded a few times.
 
No, it is a service case, because it has the maximum velocity listed.
