for the restoration of a PIAT I research the information on the different models for a perfect designation. Difference between MK 1-2-3-4....
Does anyone have the color codes to redo the painting.
You might find the attached extract from a June 1945 Indian Ammunition Pamphlet of interest. As well as covering the differences in the HE marks it mentions the Practice, Drill and Practice Shot as well as the interesting (and unusual) Bomb, Smoke, Bursting.
The PIAT was still in British Service when the 1954 Inter-Service Ammunition & Ammunition Package Markings for Mortar Bombs etc., was 'promulgated' so there are marking schedules for the PIAT which differ slightly from the wartime, 1945 and 1948 regulations.
It also seems a rather expensive way of delivering just 13 oz of WP onto a Tiger 2. I guess you hope the Panzer Grenadier RSM doesn't notice that you have set light to his personal kit hanging on the hull.
I am not sure if this bomb was in Service in the European Theatre. Most likely it was for the Far East bunker busting troops.
