In early development of the casing for Fatman a practice/training bomb called a Pumpkin Bomb was developed. Inert versions were filled with cement, live ones were filled with Composition B (a predecessor to modern C-4) one of the two explosives used in the lenses in Fatman.
Composition B is a mixture of RDX and TNT in a wax binder.
Actual atomic bomb tests well into the 1950s continued to use Composition B as one of the explosives in their lenses until better explosives eventually replaced it.
