I have a similar launching primary cartridge in a French Brandt 81mm mortar L2A2 Illuminating dated 1-69.
Same primary in a French Illuminating mortar dated 1-64.

Typical remnant (base) of a French Brandt illuminating projectile 81mm (model F1 for example, lot of variants of this model ; also exported).
I assume repainted black.

Below a data sheet dated may 1973 of 81 mm Brandt projectiles.
