Thanks, any difference between the small and large openings on the face?
 
Here are the French/clones that I was referring to, new pieces that I'm working on now. Some have nomenclature, but without references is can be difficult to determine which part of that nomenclature is actually the model number.

Two more fuzes - the first I recognize as from the Swedish 37mm APHE but I don't have a model number of the fuze. The second is confusing without a manual. Searching online I can find a photo of the fuze from one of the US published guidebooks, but while the fuze appears to me to be an Italian BPD, they have the same fuze and nomenclature shown but identify it as a PDB 122. Searching for BPD 122 Cat-UXO shows a fuze that has similar construction, but is actually marked as PDB.

MZ62 in the middle is probably Swiss.
M45 (cyrillic) on the right is former Yugoslavia
