XM-47 AP mine dispenser

Guys,
anybody heard of this? It was apparently used on the UH-1 choppers to dispense XM-2 AP mines. Maybe they were of the gravel mine type, I have no idea.

Only pics and data I have seen is from here:

Someone mentioned a TACOM ARDEC link, but I couldn't find anything on their site re. XM equipment.

Anybody know what the XM-2 mine looked like?
 
The XM47 was not a dispenser, it was a sub-system - as were the XM42 and XM54. They contained canisters, which contained gravel mines. One of the canisters - used in the XM47 - was the XM2 carrying XM27 mines. You will never have much luck finding these items by themselves as they are component pieces, not listed in titles.
