Here are a couple of pics of an original one, The (before) the pin is put back before removing it from the bomb rack and (after) the pin and wire holding it are removed so it will be armed ready for use.

A practice bomb might not be dropped for whatever reason and would need to be secured on landing. It contains energetic material and would need to be made safe, no?
The safety wire, connected to the safety pin, is clearly shown and indicated in the drawing provided by Andy in post #4. Replacing this pin and wire is part of the disarming of an unused practice bomb.
That certainly looks more like an appropriate pin.

It looks like the safety tag for the British Anti tank grenade no.68

One tag for a BOMB the other tag for a GRENADE.
