German practice concrete bomb

[MINENAZ16]

Hello,

As I was looking for pictures of german HE frag. concrete bombs on the internet I found a picture of a big practice concrete bomb (Zc type) - (picture 1 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betonbombe)
I compared this bomb with a common Zc250 I know (picture 2) and I noticed a different shape.
The Zc250 practice concrete bomb is described with only six cavities for acid ampoules.
Is it a variant of a Zc250 or a bigger one ?
Could it be a Zc500 ? (nothing in my documentation).

Regards

Actually the first bomb looks bigger. In picture another one 250 kilos.

Nothing more about this big bomb ?
I'm quite sure it's a Zc500 but no evidence !

here is a link to a previous thread showing a photograph of a lot of ZC250 bombs.

Have to agree that the one shown looks larger, but I cant find anything about a ZC500

Looking at the size of the lifting eye I'm not sure it is a bigger size may be just give the impression form the camera angle,,,,,, Dave

On lefdt a lifting eye from 250 kilos bomb, in middle from 500 kilos incendiary container and on right from 50 kilos bomb.

Differences in size are not that big.
