Any documentation?

 

[al'saad]

i am afraid not, except that i figured out that dimensions of this item correspond to dimensions of ussr O832 mortar shell.

I've seen the 3.5's before, with the fuze adapters and the AMA style fuzes, but the modified mortars I had previously seen never had the shrouded fins.

Also have a look over here.

There are a couple of sizes of the Russian recoilless projectiles that look like mortars with shrouded fins.

Nah, that's the 880 and 881, very different from these. Much longer booms, different nose, no gas checks.

Erik, in your other thread you mention the dispenser also carries the "PTAB ,5 KO". Does anyone have a picture?
