RAF Second World War 500lb MC bomb fins

Hello everyone, following the excellent response to my last post on here a few weeks ago, I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me again.

I am helping a new not-for-profit museum at the site of RAF Witchford (1943-45) near Ely, UK. My last post led us to acquiring two inert 500lb MC bombs for the new display but now I am looking for information on the fin assemblies which will have to be fabricated from scratch to make the bombs, well, look more like bombs for the visitors. My non-expert eyes see there may be a few options for these but I wonder if any of you can point me toward any detailed drawings of fin assemblies that could help with making these key elements for the display?

As ever, thank you for your assistance in advance - what a great resource this forum is.

Frank
