Hafthohlladung vs. Panzerfaust

Does anyone know if the shaped charge liners from either of the 2 hafthohlladungs (3kg or 3.5kg) were also used in any of the panzerfausts (Klein, 30, 60, 100...)?
Or were the liners for the panzerfausts new and different designs?


I am restoring a hafthohlladung and the panzerfaust liners are pretty common...
 
Thanks Snufkin - I would have never found that without your help, as I was searching for "hafthohlladung".
I added the word hafthohlladung to that thread so future seekers can find it.

So apparently the liner in the 3kg hafthohlladung started out hemispherical, then changed to conical. The conical liner remained the same into production of the later 3.5kg HHL as well as the larger panzerfausts.
Incidentally I measured the liner standoff distances for the HHL and the larger panzerfaust and they are an identical 3 inches.
