Fuzes
The first fuze looks like the Fuze Mechanical Time and Superquick M577 that was used on 105mm and 155mm carrier projectiles such as illumination and base ejecting smoke. The center of the base has the channel for the multi-purpose lead charge. By adding a booster to this fuze in would become the MTSQ M582 and could be used on high explosive projectiles.
I have no idea on the second fuze.

The second one is similar as a ZtZS/30 or 60.

I think the second fuse is a PTTF (Powder Train Time) fuse. This based on the lack of a PD element, the brass ring with what looks like a vent hole and the single hole at the base of the fuse for the pyrotechnic charge.
By the way I think this is my first post, so I'll say hello to all and thanks for having me on the site. I work in the EOD trade in Australia.
Cheers!
