Found this picture of two 12 cm mortar rounds on the internet.

Who can give a possitive ID. Are these the Russian and German 12 cm HE round from WW-2?12cm%20Mortar%20Rounds%203%20%26%204.jpg
 
First of all, they are visibly different in diameter.

Agreed, both of them have a "German look".
I tried to look for german manufactured ammo for the 107mm mortar but had no luck there.

As far as I know the Russian 107 mm HE rounds OF 841, OF 841A and OF 841T and the smoke round D 841 all have a different tail than on the picture i posted.
