I have 2 type of french fuzes, but
First, I can not identify. It looks very similar to the 24/31 model 1914, but there are differences.
On the second 24/40,5 can not find any information.

hi
Your fuze are Schneider fuze used on french gas shell and russian shell (sometime on 104 mm russian HE shell and are not french 24/31Mle 14 Remondy
The pointed fuze is Schneider for 7.6 HE russian shell
 
Hello

I agree with Doctor's informations.

On the 24/31 fuzes, on your pictures, we can see it miss the internal mechanism.

It seems the last schneider fuzes are for 3 inches russian shells, same mechanism like the Schneider 1916 fuze.
