Hi microplastic
An example of fuse that use a shock ball:
DBT-no
DBR-has not
DBR-2 - does not have .
Such a design with a ball has never been introduced for the ground troops with 203 mm ammunition. If it was a projectile fuse , it is not the design introduced for the 203mm anti-concrete shell.

Here are the discription from the DBT fuze from a GDR Manual.

Yes, it is as I write to you. There is no impact ball in the fuse mechanism. For DBT it is position 13, 15 (impact mechnism)
Danke rigby .
