Eeerrrrrrrrr,its Frankenrocket.I wonder how many other add ons you could get away with.If a guy had 50 fuzes,be like a 10' rocket. So what is the added part?
 
It was designated E8 instead of an M number. It is a container of GB nerve gas, to supposedly gas the tank crew members after the heat warhead punches a hole in the tank. This was about as ridiculous an invention as the Davey Crockett nuclear mortar. I would hate to be downwind of the target when one of these was fired.

But to your point, there was also supposed to have been an incendiary adapter, approximately the same shape as the E8, that was designed to set burning fuel on fire, if the HEAT rocket was used on a POL tank. It might have been the same body as the E8, with a WP filler. Years ago there was a book floating around titiled CIA equipment catalog, that listed the incendiary adapter.
