So it is like the white marking showing it is for training?

Hi Joe,
Your foto seems to picture the real thing. There is no white stripe to be seen and the training version with the white stripe has the russian letter similar to a Y before the MVZ and also the russian word for training above the model No. But, there seems to be no real technical difference between the training and the real item, besides that the real item has a igniter/detonator-piece inserted, that is missing in the foto above, while for training a smoke or report insert is inserted. I found an old east-german manual which has an internal drawing of the fuze, all in german language. I have it as a PDF-file and I do not know how to extract a single page. If the whole manual is of any interest to you I can gladly mail it to you as an E-Mail attachment.
Regards,
Bellifortis.
