British smoke clusterbomb?

[pzgr40]

I was told this is a british WW2 smoke clusterbomb. It has four holes in top of the canister body, and the fuze is the type normally used on the No.69, but this fuze has no thread on the cap that can fall away when turned upside down. I was told it is a British WW2 smoke clusterbomb.
Who can help me on info, like: type designation, drawings, what clusterbomb is it used in..
The length of the body is 112mm, length of the complete item (with fuze ) is 147mm, diameter is 62mm.

Thanks in advance,
Regards, DJH

Its not a cluster bomb more similar to a No 79 smoke grenade with 247 fuze and cap. Very nice. If you dont want it, pass it my way.

DJ,

I can not open the link mentioned before. So I do not know what is written there. Maybe this is a double answer on your question.
In the U.S.B.D.S. document about British bombs etc. it is mentioned as a 4 lb. smoke bomb Mk I and Mk II. The markings on the picture of the bomb is: BOMB SMOKE A/C, 4 lb. I. The bomb is designed to be carried either in a 250 lb. Small bomb Containers (32 x) or the 500 lb. Cluster Projectile No. 6 Mk I, Smoke (90x).

Hi Antoon , I also cannot open it, but thanks for the info.
By now, both smoke bombs are cutaway models ;

WW2 British 4Lb and 2Lb smoke bombs

Cutaway models of WW2 British smoke bombs as used for aircraft usage. Both are used in clustered bomb versions, either 90pcs 4 lb bombs in five tiers of 18 bombs each, the 2lb in a small bomb container or a cluster adapter with a (to me unknown) number of 2 lb smoke bombs (pict 04 & 05). In...
