Hi everybody, any one here can identify the type and origin of this rocket launcher, off course it's unguided anti-tank shoulder launched.

Regards,
John

Looks a bit like the French Lance Rochettes Anti Char LRAC F1 89mm by Strim.
 
This is not a LRAC 89 mm but it is a FT-5 South African.The FT-5 was introduced in 1989 to replace the French LRAC-89. The FT-5 falls in the 100mm calibre, but the HEAT warhead is a 92mm, and a later upgrade was 95mm where the LRAC-89 was 89mm.​
The FT-5 system was used untill 2007 when it was placed in reserve citing high costs.
