I found the identification of this bomb. This is a GP 4000 Lbs MK1.
I had information about its use in anti underwater fight ...
Thanks
 
The documentation about MkII mentions details of MkI
Nice bomb my friend.
It could be interesting to know what fuze were used on rear side ? No 47 ?

AP 1661B (January 1944) (The official RAF publication) only lists No. 42 for the Nose and No. 30 for the tail. Whilst there is reference in the main text as regards the rear oblique pockets, there is no mention of what pistols were to be used.
