2cm Br Spgr VK l'spur

[MINENAZ16]

I found two different diagrams for the 2cm Br Spgr VK l'spur.
I only saw a shell with short tracer cavity (same as the 1st diagram).
Is it a mistake (second diagram) ?

Yes, it's a mistake. Here's an original drawing for manufacturing:

Do I get it right, that these are projectiles for the 20x138B Flak ? Could you explain what the abbreviation " v.k. " stands for ? It seems to suggest that a "verkürzte Leuchtspur" (shortened tracer) is meant, but then the spelling does not fit. I did not find it in the "H.Dv.4812_Merkblatt_Munition_2cmWaffen", that I do have as a .pdf-document.

Thanks in advance and best regards from Germany,

That's a legitimate question I also noticed this strange abbreviation. To add more confusion I also found it written "v.K." several times and "vk"

 

[MINENAZ16]

H BELOT wrote V.K mean "verkürztem kopf" (shortened body for longer fuze). Round for Flak.

That makes also no sense, it would make sense in the opposite direction like vergrößerter Kopf but what is a Kopf on a 2 cm shell? Kopf means head and cannot be translated as body. To much guessing for my taste.
