Can anybody help me with a type designation of this sea mine fuze? It has an acid bottle inside. When the fork on the left is removed the spring pushes off the protective cap.

As answered previously, an eastern-european (most likely russian) chemical contact horn and protection cap (the item at the right). The cap was jettisioned by a spring released by a hydrostatic device as the mine-cupola sunk against it's anchored depth. This was used in several systems from before WW1, not just the later Mya M mine.
