Korean campaign(1945) not equals to Korean war(1950).
Here is a part of the text related to the subject from the airwar.ru, loosely (but correctly) translated by me.

Before the beginning of war with Japan the program of sevrvice training on Il-10 was completed by 26-th ShAP of 12-th ShAD of Pacific Fleet Air Force ( ВВС ТОФ). It was the single attack regiment .... equipped with the new attack planes. There were 35 planes in it on 09 Aug 1945.
At 10.25-10.45 23 planes of 26th ShAP escorted by 31 Yak-9 from 14th IAP attacked ships in the Rasin seaport. Three groups of Il-10s, 6 planes in each attacked japanese ships using the shallow dive aiming to suppress the AA guns on the ships and on the moorings. In three minutes after these the tranport ships in the harbour was attacked at topmast level by the fourth group led by regiment commander mayor A Nikolayev. The bomb load for the top mast attack was 2 FAB-250.

So, FAB-250 were used in 1945 on normal Il-10s, not Il-10M. Again, I would like to see incendiary ZAB-250-200, which were 200 kg's only each, thus completely within ordnance weight limits.
Again, I would dearly like to see the ENTIRE Il-2 line carrying the maximum load of FAB-100+RS-132/M-13 , not FAB-100+BRS-132 - that is, high explosives, not antitank config,
BTW, BRS-132 were much more rare thing than RS-132, AFAIK.
