Does anyone have the exact name of the fuze as well as the dimensions of the projectile it was equipped with/models. a projectile of approximately 30 cm total size, and from the base to the force arm, approximately 4 cm. Caliber 7, 5-7, 7 cm, I don't know exactly. Thank you

Hello,
Common French fuze 24-31mm model 1899 ("Robin-Lejay") for all calibres.
Fitted on explosive gaine 36.1/47.5mm model 1897 (very common on 75mm HE).
 
For example, 75mm M1900 HE is 280mm without fuze (with gaine)
75mm M1915 HE is 277mm without fuze (with gaine)
