Please tell us that this was from an April Fools display. That looks an awful lot like a no36 or a 36m to me (large filler plug, detonator striker design, the flat style spoon, possibly the baseplug....). Also, didn't they have a 7 second fuze? I thought the fuze time was reduced in WW2 to 4 seconds, again on the no36m. But the time count didn't start until you let the spoon go.....a soldier had as much time as a soldier needed.
