Markings on 25Pr case

Hi there,

I have this 25Pr case for quite some years now, but I still don't know what some of it's markings mean.
It has been repaired once, which explains the RPW and K1/548 stamps.
But what does the UB mean? And the barred-out F44? I haven't seen these markings before on 25Pr cases.

Also, the case was reloaded, but was not fired and the charge removed, as the second "F" has been barred out. There is also a third "F" slightly above the others.

Thanks,

Thomas.
