...2 each. The Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank. No, it doesn't toss grunts at tanks. It's essentially a spigot mortar that tosses bombs at tanks. And has a 200lb recoil. Basically proving that the British *hated* their WWII infantry, who had an average weight of about 160lbs...

Anyway, here they are, one in an early configuration, one in a late configuration. One with a standard HE bomb in it, the other with the subcaliber tray and a custom-made reproduction sub-caliber round (originals are hard to find and pricey).

Both pictures will embiggen upon being clicked.
