Stokes Mortar Fuzes

How do I tell the difference between the No146 and No147 Stokes mortar fuzes.
The steel cap fuze has ^ CAV on the top so I assume it is a No147?
It has a lead ball in the top which unscrews. It has remains of the brass ring around the body and a square hole.

The other one does not unscrew and top marks are corroded off. It has an alloy top.
It has a brass screw in the side so may be a converted fuze? Is this a No146?
I have Trevor Parkers great book pages 348-357 but I am not sure what No. fuzes I have.
