WW! British Artillery Fuze Covers

Does anybody have any drawings or images of the brass fuze covers for WW1 British artillery ammunition? These seem difficult to fine in original condition. I came across this example yesterday.

Here's a couple of photo's of the 2 I have,



1 is marked ESS and the other JJB, both with the crows foot on the apex but neither are dated.

These apparently could be used to issue an individual rum ration! Not checked if the measure is correct, but its on my list of 'things to do'. I may have to substitute whisky for rum mind you!
