The most rusty piece looks like a part of the RFC 3lb hand dropped practice bomb ... does it have a slot of quite small diameter at the front?

the source: the net.

thanks for your reply Wurger can't see a hole in the top , but it is very rusty

I see. The practice bombs didn't have the fuse. So the hole at the front wasn't needed. I noted the length of the piece is about 4" what is the same in the pic I posted above. Also the notch around the head looks the same.

anyone know what this is ? it looks like a type of fuse has a metal pin one end and what to be rolled up material in the case , could it be cordite or similar if so could it still be dangerous
