Default look at what the net dragged in

Now this is a deadliest cast!
A trawler fished last sunday a ww2 bomb in the coast near Nazaré. They notice it after retracting and open the fishing net.
They contact the navy and the bomb was recovered and latter safely detonated under water. Both links are the ones with the most and better pictures of it.

They say that the bomb was a aerial bomb with 206kg of H6, similar to 600kg of TNT. Also, do to the status of corrosion of the surface, no marks were visible.
Any one recognise what kind was it?
