9cm Mauser Minenwerfer

Here's a rarely seen piece; a chemical filled 9cm Mauser Minenwerfer.

There were 4 different designs, 1 with 2 bottles inside, 1 with a single large glass bottle and 2 models with lead containers.
This was the final lead container design and contained 2kg of Bromoacetone.

Does anyone have photographs of the other 3 designs? and/or the bottles that they contained?

Cheers

Pete

Thanks Pascal, some interesting pictures. Unfortunately no pictures of the chemical models.
The model I posted is the last of the diagrams (G) of the 4 chemical designs.

Cheers
