Would not want to arm wrestle this guy!

Interestingly enough, at first glance this guy could be my dad's twin, he has the same hair and general facial features. When I look closer I see the differences but at first glance it was rather jarring.
No it's not him, dad was not in B-29's nor anywhere near what this fellow is doing.

What does "Comp B" written on the bombs signify? Type of explosive?

What's in incendiary bombs, like those smaller guys dropped on Japan?
The AN-M69 Incendiary Bomb. This was a cluster-based napalm weapon created by the Standard Oil Development Company.

B-29A-10-BN Superfortress 42-93879 to F-13A
RB-29J (RB-29, FB-29J, F-13, F-13A )
Section source: see Baugher
Early B-29/B-29As that were modified for photo reconnaissance carried the F-13/F-13A designations, with "F" meaning 'photo'. The aircraft (118 modified B-29BWs and B-29As) carried three K-17B, two K-22 and one K-18 cameras. Between the end of World War II (1945) and 1948 the designation was changed to FB-29J. In 1948, the F-13/FB-29s were redesignated
