Does defusing a brand new IRA bomb involve the same set of skills as defusing a decades-old Luftwaffe one? I would have thought it's a rather different problem.

Not entirely.

The IRA bombs are designed not to be disabled, whereas that's not a concern with a dropped bomb.

With the older bombs degradation of the explosive needs to be considered.
