No cigar I'm afraid! Things are never so simple. There was no impact fuse on the nose tip. The extremity of the nose was occupied by the airlog veeder counter assembly behind which sat the wooden compass sphere. Moreover, there wasn't 'a' fuse; there were (initially) two and later, a third mechanical 2-hour time delay fuse. One of the first two was a belly-impact fuse -and, by the way, probably more susceptible to handling damage than the other. The latter's location I haven't been able to precisely determine but by now I think that you're getting the gist that a mere, single 'bucket' isn't going to suffice nor provide a satisfactory explanation. However, that is a brilliant photo and not one I've ever seen before. At least this positively confirms that it is no trick bad photography but a real piece of hardware.
