Great work guys. Another learning for me.
Here the back part that looks similar the one in frenchie's pics. A German parachute mine in a London garden on the 19th September, 1940.

and here the tail from the bomb. Judging by the shape of the one in frenchie's images it could be a little bit larger.

So F frenchie should be pleased we could ID these parts finally.
To sum up .. these are the parts of a parchute bomb or mine and these are the German made ones though. Bacon for I ian_
Its a rear few parts of an German LMA/B sea mine, tail, Para housing and end cap Great find and super Rare :-]I think it more likely those "fins" fit inside the "tube" and line up with the ridges and screw? holes which is why I suggested "assembling" the parts in the order they appear to fit.
