These are Vickers 1 Navy cases. 47x414R according to Hawkinson. I only have a cut-down case.
I also have a cut-down Vickers 11 (47x411R) Navy case. Why were two cases with 68mm rims so similar. Just two marks of the same case ?
3 mm variation on case length for a cartridge this size is unlikely to be a problem. It might just have accommodated a difference in projectile driving bands, or something.
