Can anyone please id these 2 mines for me ? The square one measures 8.5" x 8.5" x 3.5" & the cutaway is 6.7" x 1.3" . Many thanks , Mike .
 
Mike,

Jap Type 93 AT/AP might fit the circular one. The square one looks very Italian, possibly a 'four fuzes' mine.

No notes to hand but I will look when I get home.

I was going to vote for Russian on the square one. Do you have any side or isometric photos of them?

As requested here are side views of the possible Jap mine . Thank you everyone who has helped .
 
If it's Jap, I've never seen one in green. They are usually brown and very thin-walled.
 
with regards to the thicker walls could it be one of the US made instructional copies
 
It's actually made of very thin metal , the thickness must be a trick of the light !
