Correction: The strangely wrinkled forehead is actually the latex from the clown wig 009 is wearing.

Correction: Kamal and Orlov are using Octopussy's circus to smuggle the bomb into the air base. The circus is one of her many legitimate business ventures used to circumvent customs and border security as she smuggles jewels. She thinks she has been working with Kamal and Orlov to sell Russian jewels on the black market. Orlov steals the jewels and replaces them with fakes created by Kamal, and gives the real ones to Octopussy to smuggle out of Soviet territory. 009 discovered this and stole the Faberge egg, probably thinking Orlov was using the funds to secretly finance a covert Soviet operation. The jewels exchanged for the bomb were a necessary ruse because Octopussy wasn't really a bad guy who would go along with a plot to kill thousands in a nuclear explosion. So Orlov and Kamal had to make her think she was smuggling jewels so she wouldn't think anything was wrong. As Orlov explains when he takes delivery of the fake jewels, Kamal was to gain the real ones as payment after the bomb exploded. Orlov had to take the jewels with him after switching them out for the bomb because Kamal had to continue on with the train, and letting Orlov hold onto them was easier than Kamal having to smuggle them across the border into Western Europe and then hold onto them as he escaped, and then smuggle them back to India (presumably it's easier for Orlov to smuggle them back to India through Soviet controlled Afghanistan). But seeing Bond on the train, Orlov felt the need to warn his accomplices, which is why he made a break for the border.
