Found these pictures about landmines recovered by German POW's in the Netherlands during 1945-1947.

What is the rectangular mine with the DZ 35 fuze. Not a Behelfsmine E5, because that is square.

Greetings - Antoon

Mine on the left looks like a French anti tank mine with no cover.
 
The way it's made looks like the E-5, the anti-personnel mine containing 5 French hand grenades to be clear, but the shape and dimensions do not match.
Maybe it's something for Anti-tank purpose.
 
c'est bien une variante de behelfmine mais il manque le plateau de pression en bois
 
it is indeed a variant of behelfmine but it is missing the wooden pressure plate, what he said
