Bomb Fin or not a bomb?

I own a Luftwaffe fin from what i think is a 50KG bomb, right size colour etc, definatley 50 KG size, dropped on Essex.
However the only numbering i can see is 671 around the base and the tail in hollow but has a heavy "plug" bottom with a hole in the centre of this.
Is this from a Bomb or a Flammenbombe or even Phosphorbrandebombe ?
The fin type can be seen on page 165 The Blitz Then and Now volume 1.

Again its the heavy plug base that tells me its from something more than a standard bomb
