Asstd. fuzes that were screwed into 90MM projectiles

An M565, M577, DUMMY MK 22 and DUMMY M73

My suspicion is, the MK22 is off of one of the 3" 50 Navy training rounds and is not proper to the 90MM family.

Actually none of those fuzes are appropriate for the 90mm projectile. Yes, some of them might work, and the dummy is good anywhere, but the M565 is MechTime only and the M577 was developed after the 90mm was out of service, at least in the U.S. The M564 with superquick is appropriate.

Data Sheets below from TM 43-0001-28. Fuze listing on page 2.
