Are these 3 different 3,7 cm fuzes for the 3,7 cm Skoda M1934/M1937/M1938?

I am helping a collector for ID. Fuzes are not my cup of thee, but I suspect all 3 (edit: found a 4th one) are the same. Are they for the 3,7 cm Skoda M1934/M1937/M1938? Their name is then A.Z. N34 (t). I have no dimensions but they should be for a 3,7 cm round.

1 - Steel German made.

2 - Brass Skoda marked fuze, letter "C" which is typical Yugo or Bulgarian for the lot ID.

3 - Steel with Cyrillic marks. I first thought Russian 3,7 r-DA but as all 3 look the same it could also be Bulgarian for 3,7 cm Skoda M1934/1937/1938.

Edit: 4th - Brass Skoda made 1939.

These brass and steel fuzes were used for the HE shells of the 3,7 cm Skoda M34 and M37 guns. Also used for the HE shell of the 4,7 cm Skoda M36 gun.
In your other post you are showing the same type of (brass) fuze only with the protecting cap still attached, which was soldered on.

Hi
The drawing is from the Škoda company catalog promoting fuse for export (Germany) from 1939.
Example of the part drawing one of many here in the design of a H.O. fuse with a steel body. Drawing Škoda Mu 21658, Assembly. For 4.7 cm grenade.
