Hi Navyman,
Sorry for the delay in my response, but the following may be of some use to you.
Most German fuses had an alpha/numeric code. Nose fuses had either the prefix AZ (Aufschlagzunder or Kopfzunder) for direct action or or impact fuse. If the fuse had an S.D. element the prefix was usually ZZ or Z.Zerl (Zerlegerzunder). So if a shell has a ZZ stamp on the fuse Self Destruct will be initiated by the fuse and not from the tracer burn via a septum in the base of the projectile.
