My guess is that this was a mockup similar to what I saw in a museum in Los Alamos years ago. They had a display of the two WWII devices known as Fat Man and Little Boy. I actually got to sit astride one and have my pic taken on it. Felt like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove. It's nothing more than a shell made of pig iron. Nothing magical or deadly. Get the same effect from a 55gal oil drum. It really is scrap. Probably it was one of the same sort of shells I saw sitting on the grounds of the museum. I'll bet being exposed to the elements, they got rusty and started to decay. Wouldn't be too good if little Johnny caught Tetanus after getting cut on a piece of rusty jagged metal from a display. If it was something stolen from a LAB at Los Alamos I'd be really worried. But swiped from a scrap yard? Naaaaaw
