Looking for images of a Turkish 37x94R44 shell case

For my article on Krupp shell case numbers I would like to replace the drawing (from Mellichamp) to an actual image. Who has one for me?

The primer shown is relatively "new", I am hoping for examples dated between 1870 - 1918 with Turkish marks.

The right one is German, the left one probably as well. Unmarked German primers are pretty common, and the "Kp." marked ons is German (Krupp). I do not know but I suspect Turkish primers are always marked.
 
I have the Turkish primer wich appears in Mellichamp book. I lived in Turkey or Turkiye and never saw any Turkish 37x94R from there, except primers marhed with the As.Fab. meaning Askeri Fabrikasi or military production. Some of the 37mm shells I could observe were german or british production VAD sometimes with the marks from the TCB, the turkish Marine.
