There were three main variation which were apparently developed more or less simultaneously and all have same numerical designation; Mod.35. They are offensive types of thin sheet metal construction (mostly aluminum) with All-ways impact fuzes. Painted a vivid red and having a notorious reputation of being dangerous when found in an unexploded condition they were nicknamed \"Red Devils\" by the British during the 1941-42 desert campaigns.
