What Type of Bomb are These?

Found while trawling through the thousands of photos in the Polish Aviation Museum’s archive. Do not know anything about bombs but I expect someone here will soon explain, especially as its written on the nose. Fragmentation? Incendiary?

And what are these. Fires extinguishers?

Given that there’s a fire pump in there (effectively a pump for rapidly moving water from a static water source, as opposed to a fire engine with its own water tanks), I think the “bombs” in the last two photos are fire extinguishers, especially as there appears to be a handle on the top allowing it to be held horizontally.
