Prussian Feldgranatzünder c/80 varieties

Dear all,
I just went through my c/80 Feldgranatzünder collection. It seems that unlike the c/73 I presented elsewhere there seems to exist only minor (exterior) variation between the fuzes - not surprising taken into account that the failure rate of this fuze was as low as 0.1%!
Nevertheless, here you can see differences in the groove on top of the fuze (which all have different diametres). If anybody knows why there is a groove at all, I am eager to learn something new.
