The R.Mi. 44 (Riegel Mine 44) is a german blast, pressure, anti-tank mine.
It's a bar mine issued by germans by the end of WW2 and is an improvement of the R.Mi. 43, from which it differs for the two piece construction and the use of pressure fuzes T.Mi.Z. 42 or T.Mi.Z. 43 commonly used by the last models of Tellermines.
The R.Mi. 44 consists of a rectangular base plate and a prismatic explosive charge box. These two parts are held together by two round plates screwed under the ends of the rectangular base. These plates have a triple function: hold together the two main components of the mine, functioning as a pressure plate and close the fuze wells.
Above the centre of the round base plates, there are the fuze wells that starting from the base plate, entering into charge box. The end of the fuze wells, which is in the charge box, is surrounded by a PETN booster.
The R.Mi. 44 has three other auxiliary fuze wells (boobytrapping), two of them located at the ends of the charge box and one to the centre of the top face.

Crap, I pulled the wrong one. I'll look again when I get back into the office to see if I can find the one you are looking for.
