3,7cm Kpf Z (Zink) ‘2K’ marking + red paint on top

In attachment a zinc fuze , also M28 x 1,5

Yet this one has red paint on top & only markings on it are ‘2K’

this one also looks like a AZ 39 Zn

what type could this be though ? And why does it have no markings besides 2k , and also , why is it painted red on top ?

as far as I know , with this type of fuze , a red ring on top means the self-destruction element was deactivated , so the fuze would function on impact only.

If anyone can tell me more about this one , feel free to share !
