Some poking around suggests that this is an 8-bit (1-byte) colour
640x480 pixel MS-Windows bitmap file.
I stress this point because 'bmp image' isn't very specific, nor (of
course) is 'bmp'. I mean, sure the three-letter extension thingie
implies bitmap, but what sort of bitmap -- point being that three-letter
extensions were never even remotely adequate as a signifier of file
typing. There are also bitmap formats from the X Window System,
(more exotically) Portable Pixmap from the Netpbm Project, and (much
more exotically) Truevision TGA aka TARGA bitmap format, for example.

(Wow, that's a totally useless page. Thank you, GNOME Project.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_GNOME
Yep, says it's supposed to support MS-Windows bitmap.
What happens if you open Eye of GNOME, and then try using 'File menu,
Open'?
If Eye of GNOME truly refuses to parse the file, maybe you need a better
graphics-viewing program.
