Unknown fuze

Does anybody know this fuze? I suspect it to be somewhere around ww1, and either French, Dutch or German.

I suspect it to be a fuze that is used in a -hardened- nose piece of a shell, looking at the design
 
Yeah, pretty sure I posted the same fuze several years ago, don’t recall that one being resolved then, hopefully now someone might know. I’m pretty sure the top lid or somewhere these have like an O or 0 marked on them? Or something like that, can you find any stamped letters anywhere on the fuze?
 

Is this the same ‘device’ @pzgr40 ?
 
Sure looks pretty similar, no? Do u have more pictures of how it looks from the top and bottom to give us an idea?

Markings : D (with a circle around it)

Width (diameter) : 30mm
Height: 35mm
