the french colonial case

anyone had seens such a french reloadable shotgun case made of duraluminium before?
it was available before and after WW 2 under the name "colonial case" in 24, 20, 16 and 12 ga.

the very special thing was you could prime the case with the small size muzzle loader primer probably also available deep in the jungle of nowhere or behind the last corner of the sahara.
imho, it was the only case ever made for this muzzle loader primer. maybe not 100% gastight but better than no ammo at all.
