Nice find!
Here a diagram.
Used in the 7,5 cm mountain gun vzor 15
the grenade length should be 322 mm
PŘÍDAVKOVÁ NÁPLŇ is the same as Zusatzladung on Austrian fuzes

and something on rounds...according to my literature this rounds were in use in Yugoslavia for some short time post WW2 as third image is taken from the book on trophy ammo published in Yugoslavia during late forties.
From the dimensions I would tell it is a grenade, not a shrapnel.
Attached are two grenade fuze diagrams.
One is the fuze 14/23 for the grenade in my previous post. It is a later modification of the one found in Bosnia. The projectile is the same.
The second one is 14a as seen on the photos. The source material is however a handwritten document, probably from artillery or armament school. So I can not 100% guarantee its accuracy.
I wouldn't doubt Czech tech and Czech documents talkin about Czech fuzes. First diagram is from the book 'Notes on Austro-Hungarian fuzes' which I took as a reference and in which is M.14 fuze actually M.15/23 I found in one Czech document. I have nothing detailed on the rounds. One thing I just noted is that overall appearance of the both M.14 and M.15 fuzes is same except in markings. Correct me please if I am wrong.
My understanding is that the czech designation followed the Austro-Hungarian herritage wherer a fuze was designated after the projectile it was used on.
