projectile ID based on (marks in) driving band?

Hello,I found a piece of rusted metal with a very strange driving band on it. The lands and grooves are very wide. I think it comes from a 75mm projectile, based on the radius of the piece.Found on a former artillerie training ground of the Belgian Army...Can someone define the shell type and gun which creates these marks in the driving band please?I suspect it to be rather old.

Hi Timefuze,
Dave is right it is part of a 7.6cm German Minenwerfer.
Best regards Weasel.
