Could be a transit plug screwed in instead of fuze for ease of handllng brass for spark prevention I have seen Large naval shell being load aboard suspended from something similar
 
Plus One on the bomb lug, as identified by HarryG. Artillery lifting eyes that I have seen are "rounder" if that makes sense to you.
