I wonder if they had more than one kind of bomb?

The local police force made this collection of the spent incendiary bombs dropped on Bury St Edmunds in April, 1915. Also a few pieces of explosive bombs.

It would seem that they kept their options open.

Excellent, Sir, that explains the apparent explosive damage.

However

that link shows incendiary bombs pretty intact, so I figured they were extinguished before finishing their mission.
Then I saw this...

That shoots down my theory of the exploding Benzene tank scattering burning pieces of tarred rope.
