A.Z.f.m.Spr.M.

Hi all,
should someone have heard something about a "A.Z.f.m.Spr.M." ?
It should be a pure "All Ways Fuze" used on the Mittlere Spreng Mine Mod 16.
Outside view it have a look of EHZ17, but that's all.

We have found a mWM with a strange fuze on it (looking on EHZ17), but this combination is impossible. After looking in books, we have found the A.Z.f.m.Spr.M.
The problem is that this book is not an official book.
Should someone have see this fuze everywhere ? And, if Yes, where ?

Other question, we have found the two nomenclature for the same projectile mittlerer Wurf Mine and mittlerer Spreng Mine. Is there a difference or is it the same trench mortar ? The difference could be for SprengMine, only loaded with High Explosive and for Wurf Mine, loading can be Tox or something else.
Is it possible ?

Here are some pictures.
They are from the manual H.Dv.454/6b
There are also exercise variants for both of them.

Cheers, Bob
