AP practice mine SM-1

Hello everyone, I found this AP practice mine from the former GDR army. Its the first time I see this mine. The top has a bayonet joint and 2 gas outlets for an orange smoke charge. I think that the mine was used as a training device with US-mines, because the M 16 is engraved on the mine body. The designation SM-1 is written only on the shipping box. Does anyone have more information?Üb-Mine SM-1.jpgÜb-Mine SM-1 (1).jpg
 
I got more photos from the inner construction to the SM-1. Also the mine fuze is especially produced to this practice mine. I found a document which describes the installing of a smoke charge into the practice mine.
