German Fuzes for Rockets

[Stormfighter]

This is my first post here on the BOCN. I have been writing a book about a special Luftwaffe fighter unit for more than twenty years. One of the units it served with was Erprobungskommando 25 (Testing Command 25), which experimented with 21 cm and 30 cm Bordraketen (21 cm and 30 cm On-Board Rockets). I have a three photos of Luftwaffe officers inspecting fuzes that were used in these rockets and was hoping that some forum members can help me identify them and refer to the photos as Photo 1, Photo 2 and Photo 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Waff and Harry! Harry, can you tell me the full designation for the S/60 R-Dopp. fuze (lieber auf Deutsch)? Do you think this fuze was used for the 21 cm rocket, the 30 cm rocket, or perhaps both?
