Japanese 1kg Practice Bomb

I read in TM 9-1985-4 manual on Japanese Explosive Ordnance that the Navy 1kg practice bomb has white fins and tail with a black body.
It also states that the tail cone is held by 5 screws.
This bomb has 3 slot screws and 1 fixing screw =4 screws. Also the colour is dark green with a white nose. Wrong repaint or a variation ?
Is the book wrong as I have seen two bombs painted as shown in the photo as well as the book example.
