I looked into it a bit more, and this seems to be an example of an RBK-500 with an UMPK in Ukraine.
Since the back fins are missing, it seems like the bomb dispensed its submunitions.

I've not seen any remnants of ShOAB-0.5 dispensers yet.
However, it's often claimed that RBK-500 aerial bombs are used - apparently also with the UMPK gliding & guidance kit.
I doubt that the UMPK kit on the RBK-500 ShOAB-0.5 would look like that (👇) as the bomb opens rearward.
