The length given was incorrect , it's 9 5/8". So it matches the information above.

Well, I pried it from the still warm hands of my friend and it's home now :xd: .

I had by chance the casing for it here, bought it just because I hadn't seen one before
a year ago or so. I was about to sell it off as I had no hope of a projectile and Bingo
here we are ! Eventually a fuze will show up.
