Default What do I have here?

I know that this is something from a 2pdr gun, but what is it?

It is 4 inches or 102mm long, close to 1.5 inches or 38mm wide but with a FLAT top.

The markings are quite clear and it is marked P 2Pr I.T., Mks. IX & X guns. further on it has RL 65 and the date 10/38. Below all that is BS.

Why is it flat topped?

Over to you experts.

Thanks Rick.
