Can you identify this Airdropped bomb?

I think it's a German SD 250 bomb, but from *some* diagrams of the SD 250 I have seen, the rearward fuze well is set further to the rear.

Any ideas?

Its a German SC250 remember that the diagrammes usually show the bomb with fins ! when these are fitted the fuze pocket will apppear to be further back.

Does anyone have some reliable information on exactly which fuzes were associated with this bomb, and how the fuzes translate impact into functioning of the bomb?

I am certain the (55) electrical impact fuze was used, but how does it detect impact with the ground when it is sited on the side of the bomb, not the nose?

I have found a lot of contradictory information on google
 
Here a little document with the different switches for german bombs.
