What Does This M228 Fuze Go To?

Another weekend pickup....but does anyone know what its for? Spoon and fuze body seem to be a standard M228 fuze but it has what looks to be a jumbo sized detonator/adapter attached...

Guy I bought it from said it was Navy...and another buddy I talked to said he thought it was for a flash bang...

I've got no clue, but I had to have one!

It is a USN Mk 155 Mod. 0 Diversionary Grenade Practice Fuze. The Lever on your example is from a US M228 Fuze, that someone evidently installed as a replacement in the absence of the original lever. See the attached photos that show the correct fuze lever and nomenclature markings. Stay Safe, Frank

Thanks for the info, so both guys were correct....too bad the spoon isn't correct. At least I now know what to look for...
