Boer War shells.

[Alan1]

Can anybody please positively identify these two shells and fuzes, wch I think are Boer and originate from the early part of the conflict. I think that they are part of the equipments that the Boers purchased from Krupp, but they might be from another supplier.
They at one time had the name of the British soldier who brought them back, together with some detail wch would have been of great interest, but sadly the guy from whom I purchased them failed both to protect the writing from the sun or to keep a separate record of it, and it has virtually all faded to the point of being unreadable. But I can make out a date, 4 - 5 March 1900, wch places them at the beginning, or just before the beginning of the Poplar Grove assault.
Both are shrapnel, one retains its pusher plate. Forgive the poor pic of the bases, one has a stylise letter B and F4, the other has just the letter B.
There is a fair bit about British 15 Prs, and the like, but very little that I can find about Boer artillery.
Any help much appreciated.
Alan1.

Dutch used the same (without ring but head screwed) granaatkartets van 7.5c M.A.
Yes look like Boer war 7.5cm Krupp shells : https://www.angloboerwar.com/forum/21-uniforms-badges-and-equipment/31231-artillery-and-ammunition

Mny thnks for info. Grateful to you

I am most grateful to those who assisted with the identification of these two Boer shells.
After a fair amount of close examination with bright light and magnification, I have finally deciphered the written inscription on the shell wch retains much of its white paint.
And it reads LABUSCHAGNES NEK March 4 - 5 1900.
This specifically identifies the action in wch General Brabant, commanding the Colonial Division, and the redoubtable Major Maxwell of the Royal Engineers, operating in the Dordrecht area, had several days of battle with Boer forces before the Poplar Grove action.
British losses were six killed and fifteen wounded. A body of Cape Riflemen, who endeavoured to reach the Boer breastworks was repulsed, with four men being killed.
A forlorn hope, but does anybody have any Boer shell cases for the Krupp 3.7cm guns that they might be persuaded to part with, either straight purchase or possible exchanges out of the swaps box.

I meant, of course, 7.5cm, not 3.7cm.
I am unable to account for this absurdity!
