Which artillery was this used in?

[Gary Cain]

A friend found two of these at a garage sale and we havn't been able to figure out what they were used in. Dimensions are 410cm over all length, case length is 250cm, projectile is 205cm with a diameter of 5.7cm. It uses a point detonating fuse. It is an HC shell.

Thanks for the help!

Werent those used for german WWI tanks guns?

I think so, but dimension of cartridge case is 57 x 224R

Here I've found a ad of a duch 57x250 arty round, it might be the same model:
