Re: Id. aerial bombs
SD 50 of course. Division line between actual warhead and sheet metal rear section can be clearly seen on their bodies.

Re: Id. aerial bombs
The chacteristic shape of look of the landing gear allows to identify this Romanian aircraft as either an IAR-37 or an IAR-39.
The bombracks included in the lower wing; similar as the ones used on the PZL are also very typical.
The bombload of the IAR-37 was 12 x 50 kg, and of the IAR-39 24x12kg.
These bombs could be 50kg PuW of Polish origin - I don's see in the Romanian bomb inventory of the period wht else they could be - though there is some slight variation on the rear edge of the fins that let me uneasy with a definitive identification.

Re: Id. aerial bombs
It's a SC 250 Stabo, intended for low level attacks at railway tracks etc, the spike prevented the bomb from ricochetting. It seems, the tail cone is yellow, so probably 1940.
