TL;DR - I'm not 100% sure, but yes, it's very probable the original pic is the main body of an APERS mine, no fuse though -
needs scale to be sure, if outer visible ring is 4 inches or just larger across, then likely to be a M16 mine. In any case, treat as dangerous, play it safe.
long version:
It looks like a US-made M16 bounding (jumping) anti-personell mine ( this one appears to be the flat-top, not the concentric-ridged variant) It's not a M16A2 because on those the fuse-well is offset - this one is central so M16 or -A1
It does not have the fuse assembly fitted and was probably pre-laid to be fitted with the horn assembly in the immediate run-up to a known attack. It's also possible that it was de-fused at some point and left in place.
They are common as muck - just about everyone bought them back in the day and millions would have been nicked so it could have been laid by any side from 1960s onwards.
It could maybe also be a training version, tough I have a feeling they were all plastic-bodied and this pic shows corroded steel as the outer housing (the actual mine has a steel outer case with a cast-iron bounding chargecase)
Historically - I have a feeling the main camps of the Goums were located further north in the 30s. I know the 19er, 49er and 44er Goums had casernes in Bou Jerif and the region to the south, but I'm not sure where I remember that info from. It seems too accurate in my memory to be misremembered, so I think I must have read it recently (on the net somewhere) Those kiln/beehive buildings look unusual - could this be a Spanish-occupation era place? I'm not sure of the Spanish sphere of influence in the area, historically.
EDIT: this info could have come from a AmouddouTV video, not sure which one - loads on episodes on Youtube - all in Arabic though (or rather, some parts in berber with arabic subtitles for when the locals are interviewed in rural areas)

In any case (excuse the pun) this is likely a 1960-s onwards munition (if it is in fact what I think it is - lack of scale makes it hard to be sure) There's a (tiny?) chance it could be a old gas canister or old filter or something innocent, but I'd never take the chance.
Here's a pic of similar M16 mine, note the fitted fuse/trigger assembly in this pic:
