No.65 T&P fuze query

good morning, see the attached photos which show a No65 fuze. At least, the nut is marked 'No.65' but the time rings are 65A type. Being that the 65 was a coversion of No's 56/57/60 or 63 normally by refilling the time rings, does anyone know if the time rings were ever replaced with No.65A type rings? Or has this fuze been made up from bits of both 65 & 65A?

Your thoughts please!

many thanks, Dave

Hi Dave, all my references point to the 65 being made up of 'new' standard rings, dome and cap depending which 'old' fuze it was converted from. My drawings show virtually identical rings when comparing the 65 and 65A. Regards, Depotman.
 
thanks for that trev, I had more or less come to the same conclusion but thought I'd double check just in case!

cheers, Dave
