On my opinion it doesn`t look like from USSR. I think it`s WW1 bomb or earlier of USSR (1920th years). And white very strange for russian and soviet ammo. it more looks like chemical from Germany of WW1, like marking on shellsMy first idea is a FAB from WW II. During this period, russian made a great lot of different models.
Let me a little bit of time, I'll dug out my old docs about them !

Daniel,Very difficult without dimensions !
The tail model is similar on these used by the russians between 1935-1940, but I don't find the model of bomb !
During this era, the russians used bombs forged or welded, sometimes was the nose part reinforced with ONE riveted collar, but I can't find a model with more as one collar rivets.
They have more modified our tails models as our bombs ! So, you can find the same bomb with different model of tail.
When the americans livered our own bombs on the russians, they adopted the box type of tail wich gived a better stability and took less place in the aircraft.

Not sure if this will help someone do some more research on what the bomb is but i found a photo elsewhere online showing possibly the same bomb on display at the Military Museum Lesany in the Czech Republic
