CC 5, Na nitrate 15-5, wood flour 5 Na carbonate 0.5%. It might be called Gelatin Dynamite. Belgrano (Ref 6) lists in Table on pp 280—81 under the title Esplosivi gelatinosi con nitroglicerina , twenty-mine formulations with NG content from 7 to 92% and CC content from 1 to 8%.

Its properties are as follows cartridge d, 1.67g/cc vel of deton, 4700m/sec and Trauzl test value, 340cc. Territ is comparable in properties to some low-freezing Dynamites and is safe to handle. Its brisance is such that in blasting coal or other mining operations, no small dust particulates are formed... 

Trauzl and Abel proposed a dynamite with an active base consisting of guncotton and charcoal for absorption of the nitroglycerine.
