Does the 60mm WWII WP Smoke round take the same fuse as the High Explosive round? They look the same in pictures.

Same fuze, but with a full length burster. If I remember correctly it has a slight difference in designation.
 
Hello,

M82 for 60mm WP and M52 series for HE.
Same function, M82 has no booster (shorter base), M52 has a booster.
M82 initiates a central HE burster in the wp round.

Regards

Do they look the same on the outside? Also, what's the difference between the all metal and the plastic ones?
