I picked this up today, the typical shipping plug.
It was in an unfinished brass fuze ring which is finished
except being cut to profile. maybe this was done attached to
the projectile ? It shows an inspector mark, letter Q which
would be lost when the final shaping was done.

Could you show more pictures of the plug, showing the base and the markings on the top in close up? Thanks, Depotman
 
Hope these will do.
