Looks like impact SQ/DELAY. Someone might have been in a hurry and thought it was an HE at night. I've seen two 155 Flare projectiles fired with the shipping rings instead of fuzes.
They might have wanted a high density of leaflets. The old M84 took the smaller diameter fuzes. You can see that the HE from the fuze accelerated the black powder expulsion charge and bulged the body. The black powder detonated instead of deflagration.
