I made these up a while back and figured someone here might enjoy the photos.DSC_0116 (532x800).jpg DSC_0122 (800x532).jpg
The cutaway is the M397, and the disassembled is the M397A1. Here are photos of the other side of the cutaway and the 397A1 assembled:

The M397 is a bounding HE munition. When fired, on impact the fuze has a short delay which allows the fragball to bounce a bit, so as to airburst.
