Default question about practice bomb

I recently came across a tiny practice bomb. It looks similar to a
MK-76 (BDU-33 for the airforce types) except it is much smaller. It is
about 8 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds. Although it has not aged
well, I believe the marking is 'AN MK 23 MOD 1'. It has the standard
hole down the center for the spotting charge to be fitted.

I am wondering what types of aircraft carried this bomb, and at what
time period. I'm not sure what type of rack or SUU would be required to
hold the little sucker. Any info would be appreciated.

A pic of the bomb can be seen he
