German explosive cutters Sprenggreifer

[MINENAZ16]

Hello,

I'm looking for pictures (and diagrams) of German navy explosive cutters "Sprenggreifer" type A and type B to understand differences between these two models.
(I already have doc and pictures of Type D)


Is it a Type A or Type B ?








Sprenggreifer Type D







Sprengkrallengreifer m.V.

I think it is Sprenggreifer type A. Type B has a hydrostat on the side .

No it hasn't... Despite the text, your drawing shows the Type D (source?)

I see. Would be interesting to have that report - or at least the front page with title/reference/date - for further investigation (not every report is "thrustworthy", depending on who made it, were and especially when).
