PIAT Fuze clip and hoders.

Came across this mint PIAT clip and fuze holder but with writing on the back of the clip, not sure if its experimental for trails or if this was normal from the factory, seems the writing is hand written. The Mazak fuze holder has acted like an a electrode to preserve the metal clip in its mint condition state. The transit fuze found inside is in mint condition complete with felt discs at either end. As you can see its dated 1944.
The other PIAT holder is the metal tinned variety with a bright zinc finish missing its end cap. Just wondered if the cap is the same size as the soldered closed cap in the picture and if there was any ink markings of the tin casing. I believe these are hard to come by. Anyone have a complete mint one in a picture to compare.
