WWI German navy 8,8cm

I recently acquired this one. Really looks like some other German navy 8,8cm projectiles I have. But I can't seem to find an exact match in the documentation I have. So I made a quick sketch with the dimensions.
Bottom looks a bit different from the usual pattern, with the oval hole in the middle.
I have my doubts about the tube that came with it, looks more WWII to me. Can't quite make out the markings, should be something like 12/eop (or 42 eop).
If it is indeed German, I suppose it would have used a DoppZ C/04.
