This is the first Iv'e seen or heard of these. Do you have any info on them that you can share now?
 
Hi, not at all, I am looking also for info. I got them some months ago, they were at a training facility in the UK. What wonders me is why 2 fuze pockets, all info I can find is with 1 pocket. Regards Ben
 
Quite an interesting bit of kit. I take it this is WW 2 or not.
 
Have a look on the Munitions Lexikon - Band 1 of Karl R. Pawlas.
It can be interesting for you

Could the 2 fuse pocket one be an adapted 250 kg bomb case, nice restoration....... Dave
 
Googled some info, certainly a rare piece, never heard of one before, thanks for showing. You learn something every day in this world.
 
So the bomb with twin fuze pockets is not the BT at all, but an Henschel Eintauchbombe beyond any doubt.
Dimensions could tell if it is EB 250 or EB 560.
