Another Belgium fuze I want to share pictures of ...

Does anyone know the nomenclature of this fuze? Also what do the markings mean? The document on the fuze from the museum says it is a 22nd fuze and its measurements are as follows:

DIA: 51MM
Length: 64MM (although the fuze isn't totally together)

it's a spanish "Espoleta de doble efecto de 22 sec. md. 1911". For the markings I hand over to our spanish members :)
 
In effect it is a fuze mod.11 22 divisions
F = 10 A 15 K marks refers to the weight of the projectiles where could be used in this case to 105MM. This was also indicated by a red stripe painted on the fuze
For 70 and 75mm projectiles mark is F = 4 A 6 K
 
Some of them next to a Dopp. ZS / 60. and another mounted on a 75mm Shrapnel projectile for a schneider 75/28 canon mod.1906 used during the Spanish civil war....
