Help Identifying German Magnetic Sea Mine Detonator device.

You may compare it to the US manual then. To me it looked like a knock off.
Ok, you might be correct - I can only find two US manuals at hand to compare with though, and I don't see it being a translation of those:
* OP 1673A German Underwater Ordnance - Mines (1946) (partial)
* OP 1330 Mine Disposal Handbook (1945)

Mind you: My german is virtually useless, so I'm not able to analyse it as thoroughly as you in regards to the text :)
