Which version are you looking for? Pretty sure that these are both the PEPA. The second is a cut-away, I can take a second photo this evening if you wish.

US-Subs and CHris : great pictures !!

But this not the actual projectile in service in the French army, it's an old model, who's in use with the old version of the 120 mm Brandt mortar (smooth mortar). The actual version is quite different. See attachments.
