chemical means SMK or toxic agent?

Hello Fert,
The picture that Spotter has posted shows the Nose Fuze for a No.38 Mk II and not a Nose Fuze No.38 Mk I, as the description below the picture suggests, which is most probably a typo error not picked up before the manual was printed. I will post some pics showing the nose fuze for No.38 Mk I and No.38 Mk II.
Cheers,
