German Parachute Land Mine.

Can anyone positively id this complicated bit of kit, please.
It has a relatively recent label stating it is a fuze from a WW2 German C Mine.
It has the normal German acceptance marks from that period, but I cannot see the "fuze" per se.
I suspect it came from a Non-Contact Parachute Ground (Land) Mine, Type GC, ie a Luftmine B (LMB) of 1000kg, usually referred to as Admiralty Type C.
What is its function?
Grateful any help.

I have a book some where with this in, clever devices these mines had ,there was even a counter that allowed a set number of ships to pass before it fully armed
