Krupp 75x278R Headstamps

[Vasco Da Gama]

In response to the thread discussing a Belgian 75x278R I thought to offer some photos of 5 different cases that I have, one of which is a Belgian case. The Belgian case (headstamp EP) is unusual in having a French style primer fitted to the original Krupp primer. The other cases are Austrian (headstamp Berndorf), German (Karlsruhe), German Steel base dated 1917 and an unknown case.

If anybody could identify the country of manufacture of the headstamp AFM I would appreciate the help!

Headstamp: AFM, Lot 4 dated 1918
Primer: AFM 253

AFM should be "Atelier de Fabrication de Munitions". If I remember right, it was a french Schneider factory which produced only for Belgium.
