Hello, does anybody have an actual photograph of a ww2 German FMB/FMC mine base plate?

I have seen a few brass cartridges recently with FN in a circle listed as "Belgian"...
Can anyone correctly ID this 15cm shell ? I think it is a WW1 German APC or APCBC. Its clearly missing the ballistics cap and the base plate. Any help would be much appreciated.
