Some interesting developments took place in Argentina starting from the late 30s.
The DGFM produced pressed carboard training bombs:

The IPMA produced a full range of HE, Frag and incendiary bombs that remained in use till the late sixties - the fin arrangement of the Frag bombs was quite original:

These are the 13kg Frag, the 50kg frag and the 250kg HE

The only remaining IPMA bomb seems to be a 250kg HE displayed at the Argentinian National Museum of Aviation - the display is made still more interesting by the bomb standing aside this one, a German SC 250 (though small numbers of German bombs are known to have been delivered to Brazil in 1938, there is such mention for Argentina, though a lot German warfare material was delivered to them in the years preceding ww2 - It seems that Aerial bombs were part of the lot).

Other details on these bombs and their fuzes would be welcome
