More Fuzes needing identification

Thanks. Do you recognize 0080? I am thinking Spanish for this one as well, but my references on Spanish are weak and I confuse them with the French.
Hello US-Subs,

Picture 0080 is the Britisch No 136 without the nose cap.

in the first fuze series the "inert " marked fuze is definitely of Belgian origin, probably in the range of NR 2495 or such (image 48-52) It could be another Number designation too, since they made several of these with identical geometrical shape. Was used in recoilless rifles.
The UA 3020/00 VT- fuze was made by Phillips Usfa BV in the Netherlands, I don't find docs in the Moment for which purpose.
 
Thanks everyone, here is the next, I believe for a rocket, most likely Soviet but with Bulgaria and Yugoslavia certainly possible.

In regard to pic #80, tentatively identified as a No. 136, I still have questions, particularly with the size and fine threads. A little more detail, it is 57.2mm oal, 27.7mm dia and 20.8mm at the threads. Here is a comparison to the Spanish fuze shown earlier and a picture of this fuze in the mortar that I received it in - a 47mm. Does your document give dimensions of the 136?

47mm made by Brandt (French) and used in the Netherlands. The fuze is correct (a short 21-28 called V-9-I) for this projectile (so not No136).

The 9E256 (9Э256) safe and arm device (SAD), PIM (ПИМ) in Russian, is for the 9M117 (9М117) series of gun-launched anti-tank guided missiles (GL-ATGM) as far as I'm aware.

As far as I can tell its lot 8, made in 1988 by ZID (ЗИД).

This is a strange piece, I don't remember if I've ever asked about it or not. Japanese, plenty of Kanji on the top but difficult to see and photograph. Graduated around the base, with what looks like electrical contacts on the bottom. Clockwork type mechanism is visible when you remove the cover.

Net two, the first installed in one of my French 120mm PEPA mortars. Plus can someone save me some time searching and give me the model numbers for these three models of French beehive fuzes? Thanks as always.
