Who is this cartridge case manufacturer?

Good evening, does anyone know who this cartridge case manufacturer is? It’s a British WWI 4.5” howitzer case, logo could be CMM or MCM. Any thoughts?

many thanks, Dave

Oh I’ve not come across that logo for them before, normally it’s the ECC. Many thanks for that,

The CMM monogram was used on cartridge cases during WWI. Some info re the company from Grace's Guide:

ECC for Edward Curran, Cardiff, was used during WWII, but whether it was used before then I do not know.
