Anyone know what this tin contained?

I’m guessing some sort of 1.5 inch flare maybe, loaded at ROF Swynnerton in February 1957, but what is a 12D/1211 Mk 1 ?

Markings are;

7 CARTRIDGES 1 1/2 INCH
REF 12D/1211 Mk 1
SWN 2/57 LOT 15

Thank you Tony. I saw your post back in January, but forgot it was the same cartridge. A couple of these tins have recently appeared on eBay.
