Need help translating Ottoman on a fuze

Hi,

I am updating my soon to be published article on the Krupp shell case numbers and part of the investigation is translating Ottoman. I recently received these images from Ottoman fuzes. The left image shows a fuze for a 7,5 cm Rheinmetall mountain gun and the Ottoman text translates to "standard". The right fuze is for a 10,5 cm Rheinmetall gun but I am not sure what it translates to. On top of that, fuzes are not my area of expertise.

What I am thinking is that in this context "standard" means it is a time fuze (single function) and I suspect the right one is double function (time fuze and impact fuze).

Any help appreciated!
