Smile Artillery Shell

G'day guys

On behalf of the Upwey/Belgrave RSL, Running Rabbits Military Museum, where I volunteer, I am trying to identify an artillery shell that is in our collection and hope that some of our learned Arty members will be able to assist.

The shell is of brass and is 350mm in over all length.
The base is 95mm in diameter, the base is wider than the case and the case its self is grooved like a rimless rifle round,.
The base of the case is also grooved about 13mm in from the edge of the base.
The base has markings as follows, 97 over 74, 176 over M5, and single mark that looks a bit like a K. There are also other small marks that are hard to read.
The neck of the case is 60mm.

I hope that this helps, any assistance would be much appreciated. Sorry I cant post any photos.

Regards

Phil.
