What you have here are two Imperial Japanese Army Type 3rd Year Combination Powder Time & Impact Fuzes. These were used with 75 mm Shrapnel and old H.E. projectiles.
Your specimens on the left is a cut above the rest. Very expertly inerted and with all components still present. Very rarely seen in this condition with protective transit cover and transit tins. The only item I can't see is the small safety pin that goes through the holes at tip of the nose cap.
You are very fortunate to have such excellent examples. Treasure them.
Cheers,
Robert

Robert,
Thanks for all the information. It was just what I was looking for and you filled in all the blanks. I have already been asked it I would sell one of the fuses. My response was, "If you had these two complete very rare fuses with all of the Bring Back documentation and the shipping box with the Lieutenants name and address, wrapped with paper from the Los Angeles times date the same month and year, would you want tp sell pone or keep them together for preservation." Their answer was, I would never separate any part of the set.
Again I thank all who responded to my request.
