The geometry of the fins is different than I have seen before.

The MK83 can take a variety of "wings" or "airfoil" according to its purposed use - for instance a high drag MXU 667. This one on the photo seems to be a MAU-91A/B airfoil, thence this bomb is a "destructor Mk40" made from a Mk83 body and the Mk35 modification kit converting the Low Drag General Purpose Mk83 bomb into an AirLaid Mine
