Unusual 20mm Oerlikon fuze

[Rrickoshae]

Please see photos, 3 items that came from the same source, 20mm Oerlikon, Hispano with sectioned striker fuze and plate testing proj. - the latter two having BMARCo cases.
However, it is the fuze for the Oerlikon that is unusual as is the headstamp. The headstamp shows T32 Oe 41A 39 - who is the manufacturer?

The fuze for this round is unusual in that it has a striker (which was loose in the proj) and a rotating barrel which might be a safety feature of some sort.

any thoughts would be appreciated please

many thanks, Dave

The AI web suggests that the T32 is an American trials number for 20mm Oerlikon but then remains quiet on what sort of trial. Perhaps it was the unusual fuze that was on trial. can any of our colonial friends add anything more?

tia, Dave
