Yugoslav PMA-1 Mine.

This is a Yugoslavian PMA-1 A/P mine brownish colour bakelite plastic.
I read the internet details about how it works.

I ask if the yellow stripe and red marking MB/157 mean anything special , like HE or practice?

Usually, former YUG practice mines have a yellow stripe and have a name beginning with a "V" for "Vežbovna" (Practice) in this case VPMA-1 or VPMA-1A. Pictures from "TU-I 107 Minsko-eksplozivna sredtva", 1981

I answer my own query after further internet research. Thank you microplastic for the reply.
My mine is the Practice version according to this information.
The lid does not have any hinges but has the yellow stripe.

What is the difference between PMA-1 and PMA-1A ?
I only read PMA-1A was made with holes to prevent moisture.
