Bomb as an improvised sea-mine

So I'm guessing that the drum served as a buoyancy chamber and the "mine" was triggered by anything that tripped the rod extending from the small (er) box?
The bomb is a German SC 250.
I just wonder, what is the inscription on the side of the bomb (does it end with Einsatz?) - such markings were applied to special purpose bombs, like SC filled with trialen intended for attacking merchant ships ("Nur gegen Handelsschiffe") or for use as depth charges ("Nur als Wasserbombe verwenden").
