Sorry don't have the full measurements, but approx 14" or a little longer. Looks close to a 2lb incendiary but the fuzing is different. Also inside the cut away is a flexible plastic tube that runs the full length on the body. This container hold a substance that is grainy and oily.

An waiting to see if I can get a couple more photo and better measurements

sorry don't believe the middle photo is of the same item, was sent to me by accident
 
What is the middle item?
We had some very similar, with the same fuze that were chemical filled.

I was thinking M 54 but wanted to be sure.

The middle item is the fuze for either the M-114 or Brit SPD MK 1 biological bomblet. can't tell for sure which one as the whole item is not shown. I have a large digital folder on those items - need to go through it again ot see if I can ID the photo.
 
I have some info somewhere regarding the bio submunition, if i remember correctly it was used with anthrax for some trials work in the UK.

right, this was to be the weapon used on Germany. The final design was the M 114. later it was also used with Brucella. The M 114 was phased out and replaced by the M-61.
