Hi all,
can someone help me with ID of those four, probably, spanish rifle grenades ? Also with tech data ?

First pic : two same grenades but probably right one practice and left one inert
Second pic : marked "INSTALANZA BIVALENTE" Loto No 1 ano 66
Third pic : apparently same body as first pic but with other tail wings.

Thanks for answer, blu97,

I found this :E-31-2-11 Spanish Grenade, rifle, 64mm Heat GL type 1 Mod 61 (Instalaza) and E-31-2-21 Spanish grenade, rifle, HEAT, FT 11 M63B
But that's are very old documents with only a bad drawing.
This is coming from ordata : http://maic.jmu.edu/ordata/srdetaildesc.asp?ordid=2364, very summary !
If someone had something better,..... let me known

First model (green and black head): “INSTALAZA T-I M-61 INSTRUCCION”. T means Type 1, and M means Model 1961.
There was another same type with orange colour. Both exercise models without explosive and could be launched several times.


On the right (green): "INSTALAZA T-1 M-61 DE GUERRA" antitank
Caliber: 66 mm
Weight: 700 gr
Height: 395 mm (348 mm without fuze)
Explosive: 342 gr HEXOLITE
To be fired in all rifles 7.62 NATO (22 mm tube) with its own propulsive cartridge. In Spain with the CETME B and CETME C.


The third rifle-grenade (green smaller) is the "INSTALAZA T-II M-63-B" This is anti-personnel and anti-tank (Bivalente)
Weight: 510 gr
Caliber: 40 mm
Explosive: 90 gr HEXOLITE
Fired in rifles 7.62 NATO too.
Also there was one instruction type, orange colour. Same measures.


The other (red and black head), I think it's the T-I model 57, with Energa type fins. But I'm not sure. I've never seen red one.
