Belgian Proof Marks: The (partly indistinct) Lion over the PV indicates smokeless proof.
The .577 and "express" certainly look like typical British stamping. "Express" has zero to do with differentiating BP or smokeless.
What rifle maker? What length cartridge?
Without knowing the maker or the approximate age it is hard to tell if it was originally BP Express….
