Luftwaffe bomb types in English nomenclature

I own book in German about Luftwaffe armament. However I do not speak German so I'd like to confirm bomb types abbreviations to be able to understand tables at least. So I guess:

- SC - blast bomb
- SD - fragmentation bomb
- PC - anti-tank or anti-armor bomb (what difference?)
- AB - cluster bomb with various submunitions
- FLAM/BRAND - incendiary bombs with various flammable mixtures

Am I right?
