    Apparently the Japanese had a 45mm recoilless rifle which I had never heard of, and a 75mm scaled down version of the panzerschreck called the type 4. Some claim it is a scaled up version of our original bazooka. I remember my father saying that tankers on Iwo Jima and Okinawa were terrified of them.

    Of course you have also left out the "lunge mine" as well. Although, I can not find any successful attacks by them. But it was only a cursory search.
