Here are bombs falling from Lancaster ED908. As I understand it the US bombs are those with the box-style tail fins (the 1,000lb bombs on the left): the British tail fins are circular – as in the three 500lb bombs in the fourth row (one of the four was hung up). In the centre are two 1,000lb bombs, one bomb of each type. Both of these types can be seen in antoni’s pictures above.
