I believe these are drill fuzes for the 3.7in AA but any help would be appreciated.the all brass I think is a No206 drill fuse but has no markings .the blue topped one is stamped with two numbers .No207 or 211 N

They are "test" fuzes for Fuze Setting Machines

They are fitted to a projectile, fed into the FSM to ensure it is setting the fuzes to the correct time.

See "RAOS vol 4 Ammunition pamphlet 09 part 01 Artillery fuzes, gaines, tracers Amdt 1" (available in the downloads section) Section 9 § 5 and section 10 § 6 for a few details.

That is a fantastic reference book and as I thought they are drill fuzes for the 3.7inch gun . Thank you
