Hi Edwinn,
that is rather broad question. There are many types of "explosive" projectiles with AZ23 fuze. Some for different guns but even different models for one gun.
88 mm projectile should be fuzed with AZ 23/28 fuze. For start you can reference the german manual D 460 ( can be found here: http://michaelhiske.de).
Best luck going down the rabbit hole :)

Hi Edwin, I have a suggestion for you: try to supply, measure, estimate measurable values, for example length, diameter, weight or markings on the body of the shell . Also, the description of the inner cavity will come in handy... In general, it is the same for you as it is for me, that the beginnings in any field are difficult and complicated. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write them here. Those with more experience will certainly help you. It will also be beneficial for them in terms of how to formulate an idea, offer a link to the literature or shorten your stay in a dead end :) The nice thing about this field is that there is never an end to knowledge.
