Unknown Swedish 45 mm shell case

Found on https://digitalmuseum.se, use search word "45 mm patronhylsa". I found brass, zinc, paper en bi-metal examples of a for me unknown 45 mm shell case. According the description it should be a 45 mm M1864. Anybody knows what this is, knows the shell case dimensions and can show a head stamp?

In my references I have a Swedish 45x150R M1883 Engstroms machine cannon. That makes sense looking at the dimensions, and M1864 as the museum stated does not make much sense. Confirmation would be nice!
