This is not the Selectable Impact fuse often found on these rounds.

Anyone know what model fuse it is?

 

Translation?  Calling Mr. Bushido!

Mr. Bushido

It's IJA "Type 88 super quick fuse【八八式 榴臼】".

 

The bottom two letters indicate it is for Howitzer or Mortar shells.

 

This fuse was also often used for Anti-tank shaped charge"Ta-Dan【タ弾】".

Mr. Bushido, I knew you would magically appear and thank you!

 

I asked the below on Japan Forum and got this from Mr. Majestic; any better idea?

 "six" and "soldier". Probably is an abbreviation for "6th infantry..

Mr. Bushido

I'm glad I could be of some help.

I think your guess is mostly correct.

 

Details are unknown, but it appears to represent the 6th Infantry Division or 6th Infantry Regiment.

 

Perhaps the character“八、” indicates a smaller group, such as the 8th Battalion
