italian 2 pounder

[fert]

hello
I'm looking for infos about British supplies of 2 pounder ammunition to Italy during ww1.
I would like to know if possible what kind of ammunition were supplied. if only shells or cases or complete round.
I enclose some pics of my rounds.
the HE round has british made shell marked:
III
2pr
FS
V LTd C
3 - 15
on the oppostite many little markings included the broad arrow
case seems to be canadian but I think you could help me to right Id.
fuze it's italian made, marked SMI 3-1918 with italian acceptance marking.

the other SAP round it's full italian made, case and shell was made in 1918

in the last pics you could see a kind of shell with nose and base fuze. but i Don't know it it's an italian made shell or british made.
thanks in advance
best regards

I'm not the expert on this, but that case and fuze sure look like they have Italian markings- You are going to start a frenzy now everyone will want examples ~

Fert - If you mean the case marked "MDCo", it was made by The Metal Drawing Company, St. Catherine's, Ontario, Canada.

Hi
I open this topic again to add a new case.
Nothing in particular, a SMI 18 case with English primer.
I hope someone can kindly provide information on the supplies of guns and ammunition to Italy.
Best regards
