Royal Navy WW2 QF Dual Purpose 5.25 in Drill Shell Mk2

Hi thought I would share this with you guys. Had this shell case for quite some time picked it up in a car boot sale about 8 years ago for £16 after some haggling. This shell was used on the dual purpose guns and were primarily used on The King George V-class battleships and also as fixed AA units on Malta and around London. The shell is dated 1943 with a line through it then 1944. The shell case has drill inked on the side and stamped on the bottom. It has a few other markings of which I am unsure of so hoping someone can help. I have took plenty of pics so thanks for looking guys.
