The CBU of that time had all that. I happened to be one of the few in our ordnance crew trained on the CBU fuse. The case was split in midair, so the fuse had a variable time function after ejection from the rack. Not rocket science to set it, but pilots got twitchy about non-trained people dicking with the fuses under their wings.
