You do get steel cased rounds, and I'm pretty sure a lot were made as part of war measures (brass being comparatively expensive.)
I'm wondering if that rod under the horseshoe might be the remains of a plug from a telephone switchboard.
The plug from a telephone switchboard is a really good suggestion. One end of it moves in and out and it has what looks like a terminal for a wire in.
The outside of at least some of the casings is definitely brass judging from the colour, but some are so corroded I wouldn't be surprised if they were steel cased.
