M49A2 no marking Bakelite PD M52 on Korean 60mm mortar
I picked up this 60mm randomly at an antique mall, the marking on the body is nicely marked, and the tail fins are marked 1952. The odd part is the M52 PD fuze, with only one marking on the fuze on the inside. Please educate me I thought all the bakelite fuzes were discontinued at the end of WWII? Has anyone ever seen a fuze like this one?

The M52B1 fuze looks correct and original. Although I've never seen it, maybe the markings were ink marked.
