What kind of bombs are these?
The one carried in the Mi171´s inner pylon looks like an M117?!?
But the one carried in the outer pylon eludes me with only three fins and its very DIY lookalike…
My pleasure! 😎
I´m wondering what´re these bulges after the exhausts for?

Martin,
I got this link in Spanish…
http://www.militar.org.ua/foro/fuerza-aerea-hondurena-t36148.html
They are Honduran accounting memories about the F-86E(M) Sabre in FAH service, they say that during the early years operating these sabres they got two malfunctions when trying to eject, fortunately in both incidents the pilots were able to bail out; since those episodes the FAH was very worried and requested help from MB, the company by then servicing the Ejection seats used in their Super Mysteres aircrafts Ex-IDF/AF; so MB sent over a technician and after teaming with Hondurans got to solve the installation of the seat with success requiring some little modifications in the aircraft… the seat was designated HN10Z by MB..
Mk.10 user & designations:

Circa the sixties the Germans used the MB Mk5 version (as in your referred pic), which I think is taller than Mk10, so they needed interesting modifications, explained here:
http://www.network54.com/Forum/149674/thread/1333943581/Question-+Ejection+Seat+for+Canadair+6++(F-86)
In the MB page they also refers the seat installed in the sabre (NATO) as Mk5:

So I´m very confident about that info…
Hope this helps.
BTW, thank you for share your question, because until this morning I was unaware about this peculiar seat installation on any Latin American Sabre.
Regards,
Alberto.-
Menacing!
Nice!
Holy cow!
Didn´t know about such feature of the Honduran Sabre…
But a interesting one Martin!
check the post #9 here: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?81616-Mk5-MB-Ejection-Seat
According to that, it´s a MK10
And confirmed in MB page: MK10 was installed in F-86 Sabre: http://www.martin-baker.com/products/ejection-seats/mk10#tabInstallations
BTW, That pic is very related to this story: http://sabre-pilots.org/classics/v21favor2.htm
