Hi all

I have become this 4 lb incendiery bomb.
What is the correct Name and has anyone
a Photo from it with the original painting?

I think its a british Mk V or a US AN-M50 because the striker housing, striker and detonator plate is made of aluminium. The striker should be have a blunt point. There are any stamps on the nose or the tail cover ?
