Is it possible it is HE Mk XVI 6"?
These were used in the BL 6" 26cwt howitzer. These guns originated in GB but were used extensively by many Commonwealth countries including Australia and NZ.
Originally used in WW1, they carried over for use into the early stages of WW2 and found use in Burma and other regions of the South Pacific.
Just an idea.
Has this shell been cleared? If it is HE is may be very unstable...
