Unknown shell? Belgian?

Hello,
I'm trying to find out more about the yellow shell.

240mm height below the fuze.
A line in the belt.
Schneider EC4 fuze.

Some similarities with the Belgian 75mm:
- truncated conical base
- pronounced bulge

Thanks.

Schneider ec4 fuze is French. Other similarity with a french shell is the horizontal line in the driving band. Your 75mm is more probably french.
 
Thank you.
Schneider sold a great deal abroad to other countries.

Many cases of Fuze EC4 have been found in Belgium.
