Rob..
The Ansul blue fire extinguisher had a bigger brother..Bob Carrier has the next size up from the one shown..It is dry chem with a nitrogen cartridge that is pierced when the pin is removed and the handle slammed down which charges the extinguisher..The content tend to lump and compress so should be turned upside down and hit with a rubber hammer to loosen up the contents..
Bob may be able to post a picture..
It is a military 25 pounders used on Canadian Air Force runway crash trucks..
This one fell off one that I was following across the grassy area of the runway.. in Edmonton..and I stopped and picked it up but they didn't want it back so it stayed with me from '76 til I donated it to the barn boys to protect them from Lucifer...
In a pinch..
It is identical but bigger than the one shown.
