Which fuze for 18pdr?

[Motiztab]

Morning,
I have a British Army 18pdr shell case (1915) a relic 18pdr shrapnel shell with no markings so cannot date it however it did come from the Somme area and two time fuze both relics.
With the following markings:
No85 I
ALCO
N in a square
127
LOT133
2??6
and on the bottom ring
B?B
Remains of Red/Orange paint?

the second has the following
^B.S.C
S in a square
No85
LOT1177
1916
and on the bottom ring
C with a broad arrow inside
circle with 38 inside

Is there any way of telling the date of them i take it that the one with1916 is the date for that but the other has to me no date markings?
Are they both type 85 fuze but from differant factorys? or does the I after the No85 on one indecate a different type?

I am really after as much info as possible and which would be the one to match the shell and case?

Opps sorry should have posted this in Fuzes not here, can some one move it??

I think you need a No 80 fuze for a shrap shell. others here will know more.

Thanks for the replies guys.
18pounder, thanks for the image I have one of those fuze's but its not whole as its got a great chunk torn off it from impact, another relic from France.
I had it down as timed fuze for air burst shapnel shell and the other as in your image for HE

No 80 fuze

Hello,
Here's a No 80 Mk VII, nice piece of engineering for something to blow up!
