PX 32 german minefuze ?

Hallo,
in many allied manuals the german PX 32 minefuze is pictured and explained. I have never seen this fuze in reality. Does anybody here know of any collection that includes this PX 32 fuze ? To me it seems as if this and some other fuzes were drawn from technical intelligence documents written before the war and that this and other fuzes never made it into production. what are your ideas about this ?
Regards,
Bellifortis.
 
Hi,

This one is extracted from "Instruction provisoire sur les mines terrestres et les pièges : Règles de déminage", 1945, French Navy Ministry.
