Is it just me, does the brown mine remind any one of the Lego coins in the video games?

I think those are the triggers/fuses (fuzes?)

If you look at the larger ones, it looks like they have a "socket" in the top for the smaller brown bits to fit in

That's correct. Those 'lego' pieces are the fuses removed from the mines to disarm them.
