40mm 2-pdr HE Nose Fuze

I've had this fuze for some years and still can't find any info on it. It is marked VAD (Vickers Armstrongs Dartford), but the symbols after the 40m/m (2411ZGL) are neither a date, nor a 'standard' fuze number. It fits into a WW2 2-pr HE head. Ideas and information welcome! Depotman.

if it has no broad arrow I would guess it could be a foreign contract one, possibley Swedish as they had 2prs marked 40mm (if my memory serves me well)
