USAAF or RAF heavy bomb?

Hi all, That's supposed to be a heavy USAAF or RAF bomb, is it possible to identify the model? According to some information, the object is probably ca 2.20 m long and 80 cm in diameter /a little over 7 feet long and something like 31-2 inches diameter/. Thanks!

That appears to be roughly the size of a 4000 lb RAF Cookie.
