These are Russian made so called "Oranovsky bombs", later models (post civil war) being known as AF series in the twenties then, in the late thirties as FAB ("HE bombs") - They remained in use till the end of the thirties, seeing operational use in the Soviet-Japanese Khalkin Gol conflict and in the Spanish Civil war
Now I remember I saw this kind of bombs in : http://www.amonio.es/index2.htm (used during spanish civil war 1936)
As Minneaz16 has written on this website there is information about this type of bombs. They are exhibited at the Air Military Museum in Madrid.
And they were brought to Spain by Colonel Ruiz de Valdivia, military attaché at the Spanish embassy in Berlin after World War I, to be exhibited in the Military Museum.
