Had not seen these before. Are they Soviet anti-tank mines?

Found it.
Interesting and unusual photograph, Norwest, and dates the image very nicely.
Love the annotation at the bottom of the intelligence manual page:
Effect: disables tanks.
Kohima, 5 3/4 Lbs of TNT is not a lot. In the case of these the aim is to knock off a track or at best a road wheel. The British Mk 5 was 8 1/4 Lbs, most mines disable a tank not kill it. If you want to kill one then an Off route mine using a miszney Schardin effect or even a stand off HEAT effect. The only other thing is the concussive effect on the crew but that tends to debilitate not kill.
