Unknown 37mm possibly Russian?

I believe the case is Russian the primer has been drilled out threaded and a screw inserted, is this a home shop modification?

The fuse has blind stamped on it, would this make it a drill round of some sort if so does it match the case/country of origin?

As always thank you for any and all help.

Strange combination, case, shell and fuze.
The fuze is a Turkish production (not sure it's ok for your 37mm)

Thank you Minenaz16 so this pier looks like a Frankenstein round. I have taken some more pictures of the projectile, I is of a cast construction (iron or steel) and has some age. The projectile length does not seem to have been shortened. Any thoughts on what case and fuse would be correct would be greatly appreciated.
