What ever it is it is highly unlikely to be an AT mine.

[patrick]

is what name UMK 338 can help with the identification ?

white tape - white smoke.

re: it is possible...

Marking on this device on Russian or another language??

[patrick]

the white band does not indicate a color of smoke producer but simply that the ammunition is inert, all the inert Polish ammunition carry a white band transversely. moreover there is not aucuns holes for a possible exit of smoke. I believe that it is necessary to seek in the hollow-charges or in mine anti unloading

[patrick]

the marquage UMK is latin alphabet , no cyrillic

[Poroch]

my Polish friaend Krilan say - 338 fabrik code - Zaklady Chemiczne „Nitro-chem”, Bydgoszcz (http://www.nitrochem.com.pl/).
