The Fuze is a No. 860 Mk. II or No. 896, both barometric operated. The numbers 860 and 896 were nose fuzes - the one in your photos shows the three spring clips which held the safety cap which was removed before flight (photo 2). Although the numbers 867, 885 and 886 operated in an idenitcal way to the 860 and 896, they were tail fuzes and had a 'T'-bar instead of an arming vane and did not have the same safey cap. The difference between the 860 and the 896 is that the 896 had an operating delay, where the 860 had no delay.
