WW1 65mm Mountain Gun Projectile, French or Italian?

Pictured is a repainted projectile in my collection, total length 235mm, 65mm base diameter, the top section which unscrews is 30mm long. I think this HE projectile is for either the French or Italian WW1 65mm mountain gun, but which one? If anybody could identify it and let me know what would be the correct fuze it would be much appreciated! I would like to put it in the correct case and potentially repaint in the correct colours.
