1000lb AN M65 - white stripe?

Hello,

Recently I came across some behind the scenes photos from the Romanian movie "Cale Liberă" (1986) that shows a scene where some subway workers discover an unexploded bomb and call an EOD to defuse it. To my eye it looks like an 1000lb AN-M65 but there seems to be a white stripe exactly where the ogive ends which is a bit weird, is this an indicator of another loading? Or maybe it`s just a discolored yellow stripe? Either way, the stripe is way back than what I have seen before.

And the nose fuze should be a (AN-)M103 series. And that is also not correct.
