M-69 500lb Aimable Cluster Restoration/Fabrication Project

I am getting ready to embark on an ambitious restoration/fabrication project for the amiable cluster shown above. I was wondering if anyone has any good pictures, dimensions, stencil information that they would be willing to share. I have seen it listed as a E23 aimable cluster. I have a tail assembly but do not have anything forward of that. The assembly carried 38 M-69 incendiary bombs and was opened with timed fuzes. I have found pictures of parts of them at various museums in Japan. They were extensively used by B-29s. Any information would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has any parts such as the nose cone/internal structures or even a M-69 incendiary bomb/stick they would be willing to sell I would be interested as well. (For some reason I cannot get the image any larger)

Thank you,
