GC Mine (LMB III) with two fuze pockets

[Antoon]

Best wishes for 2025.

In the German navy manual M.Dv. Nr. 245, LM [LMA III, LMB III, LMB (P), LMB (S)] from 1944 is mentioned the LMB III with two fuze pockets.
I can only find these GC mine with one fuze pocket. Should these been the LMB I and/or LMB II.

Has someone a picture of this mine LMB III with two fuze pockets?

Greetings - Antoon

What date is the manual? Might be a later variant.

The manual gives only 1944, no month.

These mines have also only one fuze pocket. The one on the left is the booster release mechanism, the right one is the fuze pocket.
