Anybody knows more info about this mortar ammo? It was used during Winter war 1939-40, which was used by Finnish army. This mortar ammo is in the middle in this picture that I uploaded. Length 379mm. without fuse 12 wings.

The one on the Right is German 81mm. The one on the left looks Russian.
 
The mortar fuze was already discussed here....somewhere...

Hello,
Interesting post because I'm looking for information on a similar fuze.
Ok for left round (Russian 82mm O-832) and right red round (German 8cm).
Projectile in the middle is interesting, maybe scandinavian.
Nabob the fuze is similar to finnish SR32 but I think this fuze is longer and maybe with different designation (not sure, cameras could distort)
I have a picture with a cutaway of a longer fuze to ID. I assume finnish but no other information.

Regards

Maybe the mortar is Finland "Tampella" with tail Brandt... and the fuze is Finlad too, or SR32 or IS33 (new model for me)
