The blue ones are 5# as well. The red ones were commonly issued with the Iltis, hence the recent availability of red ones.
They are an interesting extinguisher. The top cap comes off (make sure it is discharged first!!!) and inside there is a small CO2 cartridge which supplies propellant to the dry mixture that is inside. Very sturdy construction. Like mentioned above, most professional fire supply companies can recharge them. I am going to have my Ansul done so at least it is functional and not just a decoration.
