I'll bet that the dimensions are different as well. The mine has a circumferential weld that is not visible on the fire bottle. The angle of the "ports" (fuses) is wrong for a fire bottle. There appears to be the remains of an anchor cable attached to the mine.
How large is it? It looks a lot like part of a Biomarine Re-breather.
