Possible WW1 Austrian Fuze?

[Vasco Da Gama]

The pictured fuze turned up recently and I would appreciate a positive identification. Markings are scarce, all I have found is a W, 49 and 14 on the lower brass ring. On the graduated copper ring there is a very small A, 10cm, K and a probable M92. I am confident on the M and 9 but the second digit is well worn. The M9? leads me towards Austrian, but I would be pleased to be educated. The copper ring runs from fine graduations to much wide spaced ones which probably end on 54. Diameter of the thread is 56mm and at the widest point it is 78mm. Pictured next to a British No80 for comparison.

Many thanks Fert, it is really good to have people with your knowledge contributing to the site. Austrian items are not all that common in the UK.
