Chinese APERS 72C Mine?

[ron3350]

Can someone confirm if this is a Chinese type 72C APERS mine? I found a photo showing inside a 72B and this one is different.
I found a reference to a 72C but have no photo. It has two Sun Moon 3V batteries and electronics.
The top has wrinkled due to age or heat. Marked 169-86-652A on bottom. I guess it shows 1986 date? Chinese made?

As far as I know it's the anti handling version of the mine, the 72b, used to hamper the demining effort.

Thanks pzgr40 for this site. I looked on the net at nolandmines.com and it obviously showed the wrong mine photo with a trembler and said it used 2x1.5v batteries. Your reference shows my mine so it is a 72b. You can see why I queried the identification. Thanks. Ron.

Type-B and C are both electronic mines, the difference is that Type-C has self-destruct mechanism, whereas Type-B can persist until lithium cells ( 2x3V in series) are exhausted, which can be up to 10 years. If you take picture of PCB, then I'd be able to tell whether it's type B or C. Cheers
