No 49 fuze

[SG500]

I'm sure I posted a photo of this one ages ago but can't find it.
Anyway, one for the fuze collector, a number 49.
Has anyone got a line drawing of one they can post please?
Thanks.
Dave.

I stumbled across this old thread and thought it would interest newer members who like old fuzes.
Question....who is "GK"......see last photo?

An why is it missing any date stamp?

GK is George Kent Ltd, of High Holborn, London, and manufacturing works in Luton.

Filling date and Lot number were impressed on the fuze body, not on the safety cap. The No.44 image below illustrates:
