Part of a bomb fuze? Metal detecting find

Hi,

Past summer I found this round part in a WW2 battlefield area. I could not get an ID on it.
Today I came across a dealer selling a replica Crabtree discharger. It reminded me of the part I found past summer.

I can see it's not a Crabtree discharger but it might be related or bomb fuze related?

Maybe someone here can recognize and ID it?

Evening Bakkie - did you come across it in the UK or further afield? It is not jumping out to me as BD-related.
All the best.

That looks like part of an igniferous artillery time fuze.
