Hallo EOD,Unless somebody finds the factory drawings we will never find out about the drawing number.
If ammo was incomplete or inserviceable at the front they delivered it back to the frontline depot.
I doubt the detonators for these rounds were in the supply chain as standard stock items and could be ordered separately. At best they were reclassified as practice ammunition, converted into dummies (if such were needed at all) or just destroyed (like it would be still done today).
I think your thought about finding such documents or even the drawing number is very ambitious and to my experience unrealistic.
I just read your discussion and your remarks about the drawing number. Even if you have the drawing number, where will you find the list with the specifications for a certain number. I have some Rheinmetall fuze drawings with all the numbers for every single screw, but where can I find a listing of the specifications for each number ?
Greetings,
