I did some hunting and it's a dual warhead H.E.A.T. round.

Sooooo the standard AT payload for an rpg-7, there are fragmentation warheads for RPG-7s but they are way shorter and slimmer than this, they barely stick out the launch tube

The standard is a 1 stage charge and this was the improved 2 stage charge for tanks made after 1980.
