Jean Paul,
British fuze numbers were not issued sequentially. As a consequence some numbers were not issued.

On the list I have, that came from somewhere here on BOCN, the number 260 is listed as a base percussion fuze for Naval and 8 inch Semi-AP and coast artillery shells, introduced in 1932 and obsolete in 1932. The number 269 is listed as a percussion fuze, Hotchkiss U.S./French with no other records.
