Hi BLU,
I just checked General Marquardt's writings. He says that a few hundred of this type of mislabled fuzes were thrown, to mislead british EOD, who adjusted their attacks according to the marking on the fuze head. Apparently new attack methods in England were very fast known in Germany. He also says that this fuze, the ElAZ(50)B was developed under the name fuze (60).
Regards,
Bellifortis.
