Thank you for your answer, Grzesio.

Yes, It seems that this new fuse setter was present on some 8.8cm Flak 37 guns on Behelfslafette only.

Hi Grzesio, that's the image I was referring to. Although not exactly the same fuze setter (looks too large), it appears to be a similar design from that angle.
A good clear shot of this would be great and it's given me something else to look out for in period photos.
