Thanks ,that's interesting .as this would make the shell British, the liner obviously a Belgium item!
These were introduced into service with Belgium in 1949, but the they did use British shells post war until the introduction of their own helmet!

It could also be of Canadian manufacture as after the war Canada provided Belgium with a large amount of war materiel.
