The suspension lug is reminiscent of British designs, but the fuze looks like a Jap mortar fuze, and it doesn't have a spinner or safety.
 
Japanese fuze
American body
British suspension lug
Russian tailfins
Strange marking

Hum, hum, seems to be a famous mix !

The fuze is definitely a stuffer, the paint job and the tail are obviously not original and not even correct.
A bunch of US bombs were manufactured with a simple lug on the other side for dive bombers.
