A German aerial bomb?

Here is a rusty, empty, cylindrical object – likely the casing of a German bomb. There was German activity in the area where it was found.
What kind of bomb could this be? The dimensions are approximately 120x700. No markings are visible.

I know you are meticulous Akon, so maybe SBe 50 C II is closer
Fair enough, you're right.With the S Be 50 C II, it's closer.I don't have the original drawing (not counting the US drawing).

The one on the left—yes; the one on the right is a guess. I honestly don't believe it could have broken off—without any burrs—exactly at the start of the thread, but let's just say yes )
Sample : US drawing >> Mod C

Real model C :

Model C II (based on an American drawing) might actually be something quite different in reality—especially since it lacks credibility—given that the Model C doesn't align at all with the German plans...

Who has the original drawings for the C II version- not secondary sources ?


In reality, there were also other sub-versions ... front part D + rear part C II
