Hello Andrew (youngbrain)
Here are a few photographs of my inert U.S. M66A1 BD fuze & M78 Concrete penatrating fuze you had asked me about. I've used the new thread method to answer your question, just in case anyone else might be interested. The M66A1 color plate components are the following: A - Tetryl booster, B - detonator booster assembly, C - detonator, D - primer holder assembly, E - black powder pellet, F - primer, G - washer, H - firing pin, I - fuze body assembly, J - tracer compound. (Note: the detonator booster assembly contains RIGHT hand threads).
The M78 CP fuze components are the hardened steel body assembly, the .025 delay plunger assembly and the plunger retaining ring. (Note: These components are all LEFT hand threads).
Best regards,
Randall
