I am doing some research on the POTAB Russian Photoflash bombs. Does anyone have any information on these items?

I am looking for images and information on the different versions, how many versions were there?

Here what I found about the FOTAB 50-35, with a text where you can read a little evolution of the FOTAB's.
Sorry, it's all in french language.

All this doc is made by Mr Henry Belot, french retired bomb disposal technician.
