I need ID on these two French WW1 fuzes. I checked "Passion & Compassion" web site but I am still uncertain.

!. Is 24/31 with a steel nose and body. I found no references. Traces of red paint. 88mm long.

2. Is 24/31 looks like a Schneider M1916 but has a longer nose cap and left-hand thread gaine. 97mm long. Cap is 15mm high. Fuze internals shown.

Hello,
As you supposed, the brass fuze is a 24-31mm Schneider model 1916 or 1916B (tracé A1772 or A1820)
