WW2 german cartridge identification

[Mircea]

Hello guys
A friend of mine sent me some photos for identification, but I couldnt help him.
Hope you can help me with this. The first picture is with the cartridge in the midle, between a 6.5 Mannlicher and a 14.5x114
Many thanks

It looks like a 9.3x74R mm made by RWS-Nuremberg....Pete.

Thanks a lt. I canot be sure before I measure it, but then what about the headstamp? Why is it 745-93?
Also, do you have any idea about weapons it cold have been used for?
