My grandfather was in the RNAS in WW1 and bought this shell fuze back with him, from the Middle east. He said that it was a British shell fired at his unit from a British gun that the Turks had captured. Can anyone ID it.

This is from a German bomb dropped on Southend in WW2, which my father dug up at the time. ID please.

second fuze

The second fuze is for sure a german fuze and a ww1 fuze KZ 14 you are sure he was airdroped in ww2 since its not a fuze for a airdroped bomb is a normal shell fuze fired from a artillery gun ??

Thanks. I've just asked my father about the German fuze and he now says that it he was wrong and it's another fuze he can't find that he recovered during WW2.
