WWII Italian 75/27 75mm HE Complete Round with M10 Fuse

This M32 HE round came out of Russia a few years ago - left behind by the Italian forces there no doubt, and I just now confirmed it is a valid combination of components. The Projectile is dated 194?; the case 1931, and the primer 1938. The M10 fuse is inside the projectile, and there can be one of three detonators screwed into it.
