I think Peteblight correct on this one.
Look at the shape of the projectile.

A few months back, one of the members posted photos of a similar shaped shell, with the necking below the fuze. It was stated then, that the shells were made by Krupp for export. Is this shell found by Al'Saad a Krupp shell too?

Photos are from the previous posting:
