Hello, i picked up this mine for the collection but am unsure of what it is. The person i got it off told me it was a French instructional S Mine. However on doing various searches including Lexpevs website i can find no images or information to be certain of this. Hope ive not bought a lemon but it would be nice to know what it is all the same. Its height is 135mm and diameter is 100mm. Any help would be great thanks Mick.

color is french (blue and repaint olivre green), it's a mle 51 /55 metallique bondissante , perhaps for export (markings "imitation inert"), but i don't know that is the hole under the mine, it's not normal
