Are these 3,7 cm Skoda fuzes for the Yugo M1934?

Both look the same to me and in D50/8b I think I recognize these as for the Yugo 3,7 cm Skoda M1934 AT gun, named 3,7 cm Pak 156(j) under German occupation.

During the war... and after the war there were other types and designations. This table is for basic orientation.

I am indeed convinced they are not Yugo now that I dived in and got feedback. Yugo, as Fert stated, never have mm/cm indicator, and most often are preceded by Гp, e.g., " Гp37". Also, Yugo indicator for lot is the letter C.

But are both Czech? Date-wise they are pre-occupation, but why the different dating? One shows "1-39" the other 15-8-38". Often Skoda export is not identifiable as such, for example, the Dutch and Finnish 7,5 cm AA vz37 shell case is exactly like normal Czech.
 
In the left photo at the beginning of the thread I see the Škoda company logo on the fuse. In the right photo there is a graphic symbol that I can hardly see.
Do you have a detail of the marking?
If there is a Škoda logo, it is made in ČSR.
If the logo is different, the manufacturer will be from the country that bought the license for production.
