I have a lot of timing rings waiting to be cleaned from British WWII fuzes, how can I identify which fit what fuze?

I have a number of fuzes and apart from trying each one is there another way?

I can certainly help once they are cleaned and sorted into groups of identical rings and measured and photographed. I the meantime, I have a
problem with a box of dirty and sea recovered fuze bits - how will you clean yours? Depotman
 
Certainly one of the two time rings that each No 221 fuze had will be marked `221'. Many are also marked `B Ltd' after `221'. The markings on the lower time ring went up to the number 22 and between each consecutive number the gradations were in tenths, similar to what is marked on a ruler. The time rings for the number 221 were about equal thickness, however you have others that are obviously deeper, from closer to the top of the fuze. I have one or two examples of the same but as yet have not identified which fuze they are from.
