Fuze L17 i mean

I am stille looking for formation about the projectile......20 pr HE/T
And its in dutch.....even better
See https://www.bocn.co.uk/threads/list-of-british-l-series-fuzes.54211/ - Spotter's list of L series fuzes show this fuze used with 20 Pr HE and 76 mm HE shells. The document was in use in the 1970s and I'm guessing the L17A6 was introduced one or two decades earlier.
The Dutch Army used (during the Cold War) on there Centurion Tanks the following 20-pr HE ammunition:
Cartridge QF, 20-pr, HE-T, Mk 2/2 with fuze nr 131 / nr 131C1.
Cartridge QF, 20-pr, HE-T, Mk 2/2 with fuze No. 410.
Cartridge QF, 20-pr, HE-T, Mk 2/2 with fuze L17-series.
Cartridge QF, 20-pr, HE-T, nr 85 with fuze nr 131 / nr 131C1
The HE shell nr 85 and the fuze nr 131 are Dutch made.
The coloured picture you posted is the HE shell Mk 2/2 with fuze nr 131.
Hereby a picture of the nr 85 with with fuze nr 131 and Mk 2/2 with fuze nr 410.
