I don't have the docs in front of me at the moment, but I have the same piece, a Soviet copy of the US BLU-26. Documents also identify a similar Soviet copy of the US BLU-54 WAAPM (wide area anti-personnel munition), if memory serves it was a POM-1S? It was similar size and shape but had multiple ejecting tripwires and was technically a dispensed (submunition) landmine. This may be where the confusion over type comes from.

I'm just back in from the road, heading home very soon on my annual sabbatical, so I'm a little pressed for time to do the research at the moment. If someone else doesn't have the data in the next day or two remind me with a PM and I'll try to hunt up the data while I'm home.
