Iam sorry Steve, but i got these" black ones" directly from the container when they were found. 50 % was with steel ring the other 50% without, so i am afraid that these SD 4 are original.

Hi Ben thats interesting because i had an SD4 last year where the ring had come unwelded (they are only spot welded and the rust had damaged the weld, when this ring was taken off it was exactly the same tail , i wonder if these could have been part completed! Did your two examples come from the same box ?

Yes, both types came from the same box, the yellow one (first picture not) i had 2 containers all packed the same, 50% with and 50% without, as you can see on the black one, they were all in a very good condition

Hi Ben thats very interesting as the black one look as though they have been undercoated , ready for the external paint ,to be applied and as these were a late war development (1944) i suspect that they were part finished bombs .
No Steve, they are not black, the metal has turned black, they were yellow, all of them, when i got them there was some yellow paint left, they are as they are , 2 differnt kinds of tails.

Hi
If I then to allow me, I observed a few years ago maintaining a
container filled with SD4 and what had drawn my attention was the
perfect organization of the bomes between them
Of course, for reasons of assembly between them, the empennage were of two types, exactely like those shown on your photograph
Against the numerical cameras not having invaded the world yet, I do not have photographs of the container and I am not sure any more different provision of the empennage between the bombs
Bombs are painted in yellow green
