Still working on inventory - I've got a couple of dozen European and other(?) mortars of various calibers that I don't have marked and cannot remember an ID on. A little help would save a lot of research - Pictured are a 60mm, an 82mm and a 120mm. Thanks in advance.

From left to right:
1 - I don`t know.
2 - soviet agitation mine A-832A. Original colour - something like red brown, what we can see under black paint.
3 - finnish mine, index I don`t know.
I think so :)
 
Hmmmm, I've got Finnish and Israel, previously I had been told that it was similar to a Spanish model as well. Anyone else? I'll re-check but believe that I have no stamped markings other than what appears to be a 53 date. Nothing on the blue 60mm?
 
The first one is a French one I think ...regarding style of the fuze and fins ....
Exact, it look strange on the 60mm Mle 72, but in practice - drill version.
BT markings is probably the manufacturor = Thomson - Brandt

The first one could be a short range practice shell, but I don't know what country.
The gases produced went out in part from the holes below and above the checking gas band, and part threw the practice shell at a distance shorter than the normal range.
In WWII and after, italian army had a similar one in caliber 81 mm.
