I think that the configuration was nearly the same for most of the smaller ones, so it could be any. I have a picture of one that I've seen, it may be a few days before I can look for it.
Scroll the chapter "Bombe de aereo - WW2", you'll find an English book about Italian bombs and fuzes. There is a chapter and pictures about hollow charge 3,5 kg (and sure other intel about Italian bombs !)
Thanks a lot, this is an exceptional picture a such a rarity.
I am however puzzled by 2 questions concerning this bombs:
1) Till now I have been unable to find any record of operational use of this bomb (OP1668 report that this one the only bomb "used or manufactured" - a strange formulation....).
2) How such bombs could be "carried and delivered" on the aircraft - their shape seems to prohibit the use of the various known Spezzionere for these (I'm speaking of the 3 kg bomb - apparently the only one that may have been used in operations)
