I have found these photos from a wooden box AP mine in an other forum. It was written that these mines were found in the border region of Finnland and Russia. The wooden box has other measurements that the Russian PDM-6. A 5 cm German mortar shell 36 was used with a converted mortar shell fuze WGrZ T, so that the pull type fuze ZZ 42 was screwed in.

In archive papers I saw the same soviet produced mines, also in end of war in Europe.
And if I am not mistaken, I saw soviet scheme of this mine too. Just in paper describes like example of the new mine.
