Fuze No 230 and 230P

I scanned the entire document (RAOS Vol 4 Ammunition Pam 9 Arty fuzes, gaines & Tracers ) scanned years ago but it is huge. I have tried to attach it here but without success. Not sure what to do to provide you the info.

Could some one tell me what type of shell the 230 MkV Fuse was used for, the one i have is stamped with an N i think that means Navel. GB 9-43 and BR 12-43 and Lot 117

Fuze No. 230

Quotes from the RAOS Vol 4 Pam 9:
- Fuze Percussion DA No. 230 is a direct action detonating fuze of 2 in. fuze hole gauge and is used with the following equipment: B.L. 6 in. Gun.
- Data for Fuze Percussion DA No. 230 - Mark 5 - Naval Service.
- Fuze Percussion DA No. 230P is a direct action igniferous fuze of 2 in. fuze hole gauge and is used with the following equipment: B.L. 6 in. Gun and B.L. 9.2 in. Gun. The fuze is similar in design to Fuze No. 230 with the exception that the magazine and flash channel are filled with gunpowder instead of C.E. and the base plug is drilled through the center with a 0.25 in. diameter flash hole, closed with a linen disc.
- Data for Fuze Percussion DA No. 230P - Mark 5 - Naval Service.
