Hi,
This should be a four segment French headstamp. There are other configurations for the headstamp, but I believe based on the information you provided the below is the most likely. The headstamp elements should be configured on the base of the cartridge something like the image below.

Ateliers de Construction, Toulouse France is the manufacturer, therefore, TE is the maker. TE should appear at 9 o'clock on the headstamp. TE was a military cartridge producer and was in operation from 1927 until the late 1980's. Some of their latest headstamps will also contain the Nato symbol.
"C" is the metal supplier and in this case is Compagnie Fran?aise des M?taux, de Castelsarrasin. It should be located at 3 o'clock on the headstamp.
"57" is the year of production and it appears most commonly at 12 o'clock on the headstamp.
"1" is the quarter of the year of production and it will appear at 6 o'clock. Sometimes the caliber is shown at 6 o'clock instead of the quarter.
Hope this helps.

That is the headstamp.

I knew someone would know what was what.
Thank you very much.
