60mm Mortar

This looks like a round for the Chinese long-range PP93 60mm mortar, possibly illuminating as it has 4 shear pins.
Brown steel body and the rest is alloy.
Marked: DPZ / PP93 - 60 2-19-62 NM-Z-2.
2 - 19 - 62 S H

Time fuze has 3 rings 0-9. The 0 depresses to alter the time for each ring.
Marked: DRS 18 ? -19-444 ?
The tail has a 12ga size primary that looks like a Chinese headstamp stamped 9613 18. (9631 is Chinese so possibly similar?)

The body is 59.5mm diameter (so 60mm ). 475mm overall length.
I would like information on this item.

As far as I can tell you have it all correct. So a Chinese 60 mm illuminating bomb with a DRS18 time fuze.

The only marking missing seems to be the lot number of the fuze.

The round was developed for the PP93 60 mm mortar.
