Which type of ordnance?

Besides the smoke marker, what else is being dropped?

Sea mines maybe?

I know it does not make much sense but, strangely enough, they look like the pressed paper drop tanks used by Jugs and Mustangs.

Yes, those are 108 or 110 gallon compressed-paper drop tanks used as napalm canisters. Another example here, as shared to Facebook by author Yvonne Caputo (one of her dad's photos): https://scontent.ffcm1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/ ... e=604684C5

Where there's smoke, there's fire?

From that altitude, unstabilized, they could land anywhere.

A couple more examples:

Stunning shot of the 788th Squadron B-24 44-10600 "Piccadilly Commando" dropping napalm contained in cardboard canisters. The target was German fortifications at Point de Grave, France, which were protecting the approaches to the port at Bordeaux. The target was attacked two days running with this photo taken on the second attack on 15th April 45.
