Chinese Type TM-62 A/T Mine.

I need an ID on this Chinese green plastic anti-tank mine which I think is a copy of the Russian TM-62P2 mine?
It has no filler plugs unless the base screws off (it is too tight) and side ribs.
The strap looks well worn and it had traces of soil on it so maybe it was buried.

335mm x 88mm high without the fuze. Fuze is 118mm diam x 46mm high. The inner part tilts on 2 springs and seals on a black rubber gasket.
Is it a real mine or a practice one?

The stencils on the front shows it's a TM-62 practice mine. However TM-62 is not known to be adopted by PLA. So my guess is that it's a kind of training equipment for mine sweeping/defusing. A lot of these were made, mimicing US/Russian mines, others too.
