I have this listed as the No. 134 MK II 7 - 22 Second.

This is a number 134. http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/71459-British-No-134-PD-fuze
Got it ... I don't think the museum has any of this stuff listed correctly.
Thanks ... I think it is the No. 79 by the looks of it when compared. Can anyone tell me what the differences between the No. 79 MK I and MK II were?

Here is the NO 79 MK II I have pictures of ... the big difference I see between the 2 is the smooth portion of the body above the time settings on these and the ridges cut into the one I showed earlier.
Also ... any idea what the P&C stand for?

So is that why the top one have the notches? Possibly was that part of the locking device?

I believe so Joe. I have only seen half a dozen actual examples and all but one had the notches and the clip. At least one was marked No 28 in the cast body but had the notches and clip. My notes (in this case mostly Hogg's work) make it clear that No 28 bodies were used to make No 79s as well as there being new manufacture.
About 50 of the No 79 fuzes were converted into 'Barwell' fuzes for trials but I don't have anything to hand about this development.
