Unknown Swedish case 57 mm

Hello, I am offered this case. It is Swedish, and I think it is a 57 mm case. Dimensions are ~ 57x385R80....I suspect 57x395R? for the 57 mm M43 or M49 Bofors. Does anybody recognize this case? What is the date of manufacture (could be 1945 or 1946).

For me the case is new, I could not tell you. I acquired two 57 mm cases, this one and another Swedish WW2 case for the 6 pounder Nordenfelt gun.
 
According to my lists..... 57 x 385R x80 (82.5?).... is for PvKan M/43
.... 57 x 395R x82.5 ............ is for PPRJ m/43b and M/49
 
The cases are on their way to me, I will measure them when they arive.
 
The cases have arrived!
57x306R76,3 57 mm Nordenfelt
57x385R82,7 57 mm pvkan m/43
