Unknown bomb, I suspect French

[pzgr40]

A friend of mine has this bomb. Complete body length 430mm, dia, appr 95mm, cast bomb body, a theaded brass ring in the nose with internal thread apr. 35mm.
The tail is sheet steel and 300 mm long and 140mm dia over the wings. In the back of the cone of the tail is a 20mm hole.

What country and type is this bomb, and from what era; WW1 or WW2.

What fuze should go on top.

Does anybody have a drawing or manual.

Thanks in advance,
Regards, DJH

Possibly its an SD 10 FRZ is a German fragmentation bomb originally of French design, adopted and used during World War II, (SD stands for "Sprengbombe Dickwandig," meaning high-explosive thick-walled bomb). Designed primarily for fragmentation effects to target personnel, light vehicles, and aircraft on the ground. Based on French ordnance designs and incorporated into German weaponry after the occupation of France in 1940. After the German occupation of France in 1940, they repurposed French ordnance designs for their own military use. The SD 10 FRZ combined German fuzing systems with French bomb casings. The SD 10 FRZ bomb typically used a variety of nose fuzes designed for impact detonation or delayed action. Typically AZ (38, 38A, or similar and AZ38 with delay), common for smaller fragmentation bombs. As I say, this could be the type, hopefully someone else will clarify.

Interwar French PA 10kg bomb with late model fins . The body was cast steel specially designe to increase fragmentation.
It may indeed have been used by the Germans as SD10Frz.
The follwing drawing shows a 10kg PA with the early model fins - the ribbed late model fins was also seen on 10kg Incendiary bombs - as can be seen on such an incendiary bomb Mle 1927 on the colour photograph on the right:


and here a photograph from 1940 of captured 10kg PA bmbs with their fuze:

Hello,
Not a common French 10kg PA because :
-strange head adapter
-crimp grooves (2) are missing on base (for tail fins).
