Plug Rep.

Hi Spotter and as a first answer it is a "Plug Rep" for the corresponding fuze.
I had a 25 pounder recovery proof round that was fitted with one of these and it too was hollow and made from steel which had been Brass plated then Lacquered.
I do not recall any stamps other than "PLUG REP 117".

Interesting that you appear to have three different models, Brass, Steel and Maizac metal ! Very nice.
