All items came from the former Yugo area during the seperation conflict

First is a 120mm mortar HE Rkt assit, that's all I have

Second is a 60mm air launched, model country unknown, has a M -111 B 1 PD fuze, one sorce saud it could be fired up to 600 meters by compressed air (no confirmation on that though)

Third 152mm HE with RGM-2 PD fuze

forth 60 mm WP

last a 1122 cartridge case

would appreciate anything on these 5 items, I can't get the markings to match up with my info. I also have a number of other munitions from the same area that I have not been able to ID yet

The 122mm is a Chinese one. For the rest it would be helpfull to have images of all markings applied to the items.
 
Found out all themitems did not come rom Yugo, the 60mm air launced was Yugo are, the rest appeared to be Iraq area
The air launched 60mm
This mortar is 60mm in diameter and 258mm in height. There is a rubber O-ring 37mm from the fuze well, which acts as a gas check band. The markings on the side of the mortar are stamped 51mm from the fuze well. “UP 02 / 93” is centered above “1 BF 002.” There is an air nozzle screwed into the propellant and primer well. The nozzle is 15mm in diameter and 35mm in length. The hole in the base of the air nozzle is 9mm wide. The nozzle is 50mm in length when unscrewed from the mortar. There are 8 right-handed threads on the nozzle. The thread diameter is 13mm. There are two vent holes drilled 180 degrees apart on the tail boom. There are four sets of double fins welded to the base of the tail boom. Sources stated that the mortar could be fired 600 meters by air pressure. The nozzle is easily installed at the factory when no propellant or primers are on hand. The launch system consists of a modified tube and quick disconnect attached to an air hose connected to an air compressor.

The 60mm WP
The color code and markings resemble the UK, but the fin assembly resembles Finnish mortars. The model number comes from the package tube. The mortar is painted light green with black markings. There are three gas check bands. The following is centered below the fuze/mortar junction: 60mm; MORTAR BOMB; SMOKE WP; LOT 9032. Stamped into the mortar just above the tail boom is LOT - 9131. The fuze is painted gray with the following stamped above the base of the fuze: FUZE PD M-111-B1. The mortar has a diameter of 60mm and length of 231mm. The tail boom is 86mm in length with eight fins that are 32mm in height, the diameter of the tail boom is 22mm. The fins taper out from the base upward. The fuze is 59mm in height with a diameter of 48mm.

First one is Iriranian, second photo is former yougoslavia and the 60 mm mortar is also iranian
 
Blu97 thanks, got any idea how the air launced 60mm worked or a pic of the launcher
 
This is a wild guess now but the 60mm compressed air launcher might be made by ULJANIK in Pula (today Croatia) which is a dock yard since 1856, judging by the date of 1993 they might have been into ammo components during the hard days of the war.
