I don't think it's a the British Mark I anti-tank contact mine going by the 1936 manual.
But what about the ridges on the top?

The mine you posted seems to be of a squat (short height) cylindrical shape. All reference materials I looked at yesterday showed the main body of the British Mark I anti-tank (Mk. I AT) contact mine as being what is essentially a squat truncated cone.
As such, and including the ribbed top of your object's main body, there are two major differences between what you have shown and what reference materials on the Mk. I AT show.

I don't have that manual. Is it available online ?
