[johamwit]

... how to describe this ...

It's a block fuse interacting with a block-laying SS.

After 3 H-humps, around G 1200, the burn mode changes, reaching the SS 7 cycles later, around G 2000. The fuse reignites around G 3000, reverting to the original burn mode, with H-humps, and reaching again the SS at G 4800, killing the block-laying tagalong shortly after, and leaving the SS free.
