Stamping N arrow Z

Hello.
Recently, in the forum cartridges, it was talked about a 13 Pdr with the symbol of South Africa: arrow inside a U. One of the last two 18 Pdr, I have bought, is a 18 Pdr Mk I with the stamping N arrow Z. I think it is for New Zealand. I had the same before on a 4.5 Inch Mk I. Unfortunately, the two 18 Pdr have been nickeled, so it is impssible to avoid the reflections.
Pic 1: 18 Pdr Mk I
Pic 2: 4.5 Inch Mk I ( sorry for the poor quality of the photo).

Dandebur,

You're quite correct - it's the "New Zealand Land Service Stamp"
