I have 3 Fuzes and what I believe to be an empty tracer plug for a 37x228mm round, but who knows.......

The first from the left is a brass base fuze with no identifying marks. The main thread is 1"x18 LH.

The Second is what appears to be a new aluminum tracer plug that hasn't been loaded. I think the thread is 7/8"x28 LH. It's .870" diameter.

The third is a complete brass point fuze with yTM57-CM-TK-C481180-BK- stamped in it. The thread size is 15x.75mm RH or 9/16"x34 RH. I can't tell which. The thread diameter is .587" or 14.91mm.

The last is an empty aluminum point fuze with No6 B 5 /51 stamped on it. The "B" has an arrow thru it. The thread size is 15x.71.0mm RH or 9/16"x26 RH. I can't tell which. The thread diameter is .587" or 14.91mm.

#1 should be a US base fuze for the 37mm HE proj.
#2 looks much like a tracer cover which is used in APFSDS-T projs.
#3 is a Yugoslav fuze for the 20x110 HS 404 HE proj.
 
There should be only one it will fit and if I remember the designation correctly it is the M63.
