Hi All! I'm hoping to get some assistance with the markings on a L54A1 Illumination round if possible? I've found out what I can from here and elsewhere online but am still struggling with some of it. As well as attaching the images I've also put the markings below, along with any info I have on them so far:
Fuze
Any information would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Fuze
- LOT SG-08G1403 - I'm assuming that the "08" is a manufacturing month, followed by the rest of the lot code.
- DM 93-505.39 - The model of the Fuze, made by Junghans Feinwerktechnik
- SIL-08-061-VM-433 - Just a guess that "08-06" is Year then Month (2008-June). No clue about the rest
- C173TT1 - No info on this line
- (Painted on the front) 81mm M / ILUM / L54A1 / [Parachute symbol] / SIL 12-08071C” - Describes the round, giving the calibre, Munition type, L number. However the last (partially smudged) line is not as clear, again I'm thinking 12-08 is a date.
- TVI80 RG08/08 - Guessing that TVI80 is a lot code or model number, and that it was made 08/08 in ROF Radway Green.
- L39A1 G0 10/08 228 - "L39A1" is the model I guess? I could not find any clear answers online, given that L39A1 is also the number for a type of Enfield rifle. "10/08 228" is probably date again and lot code?
Any information would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
