German mine fuze SF 18

Who has a good photo from the German pressure type fuze SF 18 for me? I have only a fragment from this fuze.

Here is the photo from the fuze fragment.

Look at E-EOD-A ordnance of the month June 2023.

Hello Rigby,
today I got the info to the ordnance of the month from June 2023. I think, that the 2 ampoules in the fuze contains liquids like in the fuze SF-1. Sulfuric acid and a white powder is the content of the SF-5 (Buck fuze).

today I got this picture from the fuze. I have never seen a picture from SF-18 before, so I`m not sure.

Looks like SF-1 (TO.MI.Z.42) more than SF-18

I found a drawing from the SF-18 only in the TM 5-280 from 1963. But there is not given measurements from this fuze. The fuze SF-18 must installed in the Glasmine 43 like all other mine fuzes (SF-1 , SF-5 Hebelzünder 44).
By the way after WW II in the Czech Army an antitank mine To Mi-Ba with a SF-1 mine fuze was used.

The photo of the To Mi-Ba shows the mine without pressure plate.
