Looks to be Indian supplied 25-pr rounds.

KF - Ammunition Factory Kirkee
OK - Ordnance Factory Khamaria (established 1942).
 
The Indian Ordnance Factories website used to list all the various ammunition and munitions factories (and weapons, vehicles, clothing, &c), and included current monograms and identifiers, most of which were the same (or very similar) as used in WWII. Some of the factory listings also had handy history summaries. I have not looked at the current website offerings from IOF, but Google should be your friend.
