The Belgian 75 mm FRC Mle 1927 was built by Fonderie Royale des Canons (FRC). They were ex-German Krupp 88 mm guns recalibrated to the Belgian 75x518R ammo.

The following site mentions a different shell size for the Mle 1927:

C.75 M27 DTCA (75x543R)

I am not sure but they had the habit of adapting different guns to the same ammo.

It would make more sense indeed to have a single type of 75 mm AA ammunition..
