Can you identify this mine?

Forgive the diagrams, photos were not an option

The example is incredibly rusty so the diagrams aren't that bad! Overall body colour cannot be determined

The fuze well is empty, and there are no legible markings

The locking nuts/grooves in the second image appear to allow the user to remove the top of the mine by rotating the mine anti-clockwise and lifting

Many thanks

There are two metal anti-tank training mines, which have four bayonet lock and a diameter of about 30 cm, the French MI AC X 35 and the Russian UITM-60, but both are higher than 55 mm.

While conditions are not good, photos would help, also of the bottom.

The mine on the left of your 4 pics appears to be the one

I have now managed to rescue pictures that were thought to be lost!

Well, we can definitely identify this item as a french anti-tank training mine MI AC X 35, or its dutch version NR 27 (virtually identical).

Here's a drawing of the Dutch Nr 27
