Thank you Harry,ive just looked it up thanks tou your info and it is one of them,,,another question do you know if these would have been used by the British or just americans as was found on old uk training area
 
Hi Spotter, The British army purchased in number of obsolete American 75mm guns in 1940 before the introduction of the 'Lend-Lease Act' of 11 March 1941.
Your fuze could have come from one of these guns?
