The IAA president a few years ago had one of these in newish condition and was attempting to ID it, don't know if he ever did. He may have put a photo in the Journal too. Here's a photo one at the other end of the life cycle, found in a US National Park recently. EOD was called and after detailed exam pronounced it totally inert. It has two reverse-canted nozzles on the base and a small round hole in the middle of the base. The nose is a steel nose plug with no fuze-wrench grooves and traces of blue paint. Overall about 14 inches long, diameter 2.75 inches.

Thanks much-good info. Some day someone will find some official documentation on that project, I hope.
