Hello,
-First picture : really looks like french rocket head 105mm type 121 or the practice version.
-Second : French 127mm for gun CAD48 (short life !) used as gauge testing fuze setter (as far as I'm aware) or something similar.
I have one. Fuzed with former german Ex.Ztzs/30 (french navy used german fuzes after the war).
There is a big dial at the ogive and markings :
FUSEES ZtZ S/30 POUR 127 C.A.D. Mle 48 N°28
LOI D'EVENT B = 12.9 + 11.39 T
