[Drunken matelot]

Can someone please confirm which variant of sidewinder this is.
Relic from the Falklands war so possibly a AM 9L ??
Anyone help to confirm 100% for a friend

Can't help with the ID, other than this is not a Sidewinder.

British Surface to Air Javelin

I may be wrong, but I think the markings indicate it is actually a Blowpipe - the immediate predecessor to the Javelin.

I do not think the Javelin entered service until after the Falklands War.

It is a Blowpipe Missile. They were in service with both sides in the Falklands War.

Javelin replaced Blowpipe after the Falklands War.

Has anybody information about the Blowpipe? and then especially about the missile.

This is the best I have run across that is not still classified.

Presumably, CAT-UXO has some good information as far as the details of the missile warhead, fuze(s), and rocket motor?

This is the Spanish language manual of the Blowpipe:
