Unknown Japanese artillery shell and a Brodie helmet

Hi All,
I bought this beautiful lamp. The helmet is a Brodie MK II, but was it made in England? The helmet has no stamps (or they are covered with paint), but the liner has the following marking: 7 FH II.

Secondly, that artillery shell is unknown to me. Probably Japanese, but what was it used for? The shell's diameter is 73 mm and height about 240 mm. I’ll probably need to buy a Japanese helmet for it. :)
