The Romanian air Force in ww2 used a wide variety of bombs (must have been a serious headache for their ordnance personnel) as there was a long standing policy of buying bombs together with planes - so French bombs with French planes, Italian bombs with Italian planes and so on...Thye also bought from the German "booty bombs" - Polish and apparently Greek. Later they went on to produce their own bombs models
This is the non-exhaustive list (but quite extensive) of bombs present in the Romanian inventory in 1941 (numbers besides the type of the bomb indicate the number available at the beginning of the 1941 offensive).

So called WWI Michelin aerial bomb exhibited in the National Museum of Romanian Aviation in Bucharest - a WW1 era PuW or a Polish PuW Interwar clone

PuW

Romanian produced 12kg bombs

French 50kg (or Polish ?) Tail fin

Officially labelled as an aircraft bomb (could be a mortar round but similar mortar rounds were known to have been used as aerial bombs by the French, Italian, British, Russian and Spanish Republicans, so why not the Romanian)

"American" (Greek ?) 225kg and "50"kg (100lbs) bombs

Unidentified "300kg bombs" (from the Romanian manual of the SM79JR the Romanian version of the Italian SM79B - these are definitively not Italian bombs, may be an artistic retouch of PuW)

Romanian Produced bombs 50kg/100kg/225kg

Could someone share more information of these last, Romanian produced bombs (dimensions, weights, drawings) ?
