Additional charge for RGD-33

[MINENAZ16]

Hello,
Found these pictures on internet.
Seems to be a charge for Rgd-33 (maybe for AT or bunkers)
Is it a correct combination ?
What is the designation ?

Yes, it is correct combination. Appeared not later as September 1941.
No information about name of it.
It was producing short period of time. Reason - reduce quantity of RGD-33 as A/T grenade : one grenade RGD-33 with tin of explosive, instead of 5 grenades RGD-33.

It seems to be referred to in a book I have as the RPG-41 (РПГ-41) or RGD-41 (РГД-40). The 'D' in the latter short for the person who led the project M.G. D'yakonova (М.Г. Дьяконова).

It would seem to use an RGD-33 lower and a modified and larger upper, plus a large detachable over charge. The total HE mass was about 1 kg.

It seems this one was the earlier version of the later and larger RPG-41 that has a single piece warhead containing 1.4-1.5 kg of HE.

There's also the earlier RPG-40, that contains about 760 g of HE.

Yes but this one seems to be an improvised grenade, RGD33 with additionnal charge (others are made with single body)
