Is this fuse ww2 or not?

I keep seeing these yellow fuses identified as ww2 BZ39. What is everyone's consensus on the era? They look post war to me.

You're absolutely right.

Hi,

you are right, they all are post-war NVA (ex DDR/GDR) or czechoslovakian made.

Some even bare the marking: Los Nr. which is a post-war German inscription.

Hands off those fuses if you want an authentic WWII one !

Thanks for the responses everyone. My suspicions are confirmed. The caps are entirely different from the more rounded ww2 version. I think also the lack of manufacturer's 3-letter code does them in.

thanks
