CHAVRE Explosive Bolts

The Chieftain Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineer used explosive bolts to release to securing chains in order to release the fascine for ditch crossing. Would anyone have any technical information on the explosive bolts or a drawing and/or photo of them?

Cheers,
 
It appears the item I had is not a CHARVE Explosive Bolt but a Pin 20 Ton Blow-Out Release used with the Python Mine Clearance System. This particular one is missing the sleeve and the split pin. Similiar devices are used with several different vehicles for a variety of purposes. If anyone has a photo of a complete Pin 20 Ton Blow-Out Release or any of the other pins/bolts I would appreciate seeing them.
