Todays collection from the sea

Today i obtained some more items for my mixed collection, again all givern up by the sea after some sixty plus years.
A mixed bag as they say, so i know the following
2 x 20mm cannon shells from the WW2
2 shell Base plugs of about 12pdr size one has the same marks as the image i posted before the other differs in marking but not size
Collection of Drive Bands
Collection of Shell nose caps which look of the time delay type
Then some things i just do not know, i have circled them in red, i thnk that the cap in the right top corner has no military connection as the large item in the left corner how ever the remain three items.
Bottom right my brother in law has said he used to see things like this in shells when in the RA also top left he thinks could be a nose cap cover as he used to use cardboard types again from his RA days.

Ideas??

The item bottom right is a magazine from a shell primer, the item top left looks like a crushed cover from a time fuze.
 
Quatermass,

Thanks for the reply, you are in fact saying what my brother in law told me. Good to get the same answer from two different directions.
 
Sea Gifts;

In the red circle, lower right appears to be a projectile cartridge case ignitor; can you clean up the lower left in the red circle? It has the shape for a spherical shell fuze, but am not sure.
Regards,
John aka Bart
 
Bottom left item appears to be a British bomb pistol.
Best regards Weasel.
