By comparing the bomb sizes (what I haven't thought of earlier), I'd say the inner bomb is SC 500 J (470 mm diameter), the outer ones are SC 250 (368 mm diameter). The inner one cannot be the SD 500 C, as it was only 398 mm in diameter.
Well....I think the SC500J had a more pointed nose than the bomb of my image....although perhaps the angle of the picture will be misleading...Grzesio wrote
Well, looking from this perspective, I think the ID has to be changed.

Exactly.
Officially not, all 50 kg class bombs (not only SC 50) were 109-110 cm long. I think it's just an illusion, the SC 50 J on the left hand side is held at an angle, thus appearing shorter. I compared the photo with a CAD drawing of the SC 50, nothing's strange with the bombs.
Thanks, Grzesio. In the book "German air-dropped weapons to 1945" of Wolfgang Fleisher (which is my only book about bombs...) not is mentioned this model of bomb....Grzesio wrote
It's clearly marked with D 1000 and 102, so it's SD 1000 filled with amatol.
Well, I think, the case of this bomb becomes very interesting.
