    I think it is for Aircraft flares which I gather from here Bombs and Fuzes, Section 4: British Fuzes; Fuze No. 42 Marks I & II

    but it is not my area of collecting and yours is a MKIV so may have another application so someone with more knowledge may come along and help. It a cool thing though !
