There was a 13x96mm Exp. it's likely the belted version of it. I've noticed the same thing with other French experimentals. It's a neat case that I didn't know existed. I guess I can add that to my wish list...............
I found on the IAA forum some info on a " French 13,2x96 Hotchkiss short " round....Could it be the same as Imaokie mentionned ?

The "D" in Hoeksels HS is most likely the metal provider "Compagnie du Duralumin et Cuivre , Dives"

The 13,2x96 Hotchkiss short is a different case, it is not belted and 13,2 mm i.s.o. 13 mm. I have some 13,2x96 Hotchkiss short cases from France and Belgium. I have had 3 French cases, all manufactured by VE and dated 1936 and 1939. My Belgium case is FN made and dated 1937. As imaokie2000, I was pleased this week to add several unknows to my collection at the same time (also 2 experimentel USA .50 .30 HV rounds).

Probably a 13.5 x 97 S.T.A.
D is for "Socit Electromcanique de Dives", the metal supplier.
