Another unknown fuze

Good Evening once again,

I have up for ID another post-war fuze - thread diameter is approx. 50.5mm and looks like it may have been some type of proximity fuze?????

Markings: 36 /|\ (VZ)

(OK I have no idea except it would be British commonwealth!)

Any thoughts greatly appreciated on the fuze ID and usage.

Thanks
Cheers
Drew

I have a similar fuze marked: N81 MK 4 GH MF 2/57 110.
So mine is Australian made proximity fuze.
 
Thanks Ron,

Any ideas on which gun /calibre it was used on?

Thanks
Cheer

I am only guessing it is a navy fuze so possibly 4.5" or 5" for 1957 era. If land use only 3.7"?? I also need help for ID.
