Aussie issue I think 2 x 2" Mortar H.E rounds had these a while they are in what I consider pristine condition both are inert and have inert fuses as well not sure on ones tail fin being 1942 vintage with a '80 mortar body! I have since found the end cap for the initiator cartridge that the one on the left is missing.
I have a 2" smoke round but that is just a hollow round not much to see in that one except its WWII vintage 7-43 on the body - MD /44 on the tail fin and /44 in the initiator end cap.

25Pdr Smoke projectile I had a 25Pdr case so found this one up in Perth for it sadly the fuse is all but destroyed still looks pretty good when sat in the shell not the thing to drop on ones foot.

Bit smaller bang
My Mills 36 (1941 on the base plug) with grenade launcher plate Pic #3 shows dis-assembled with internals I procured a copy of the initiator fuse.
These 36's when they do come up fetch reasonable $'s.

Pineapple
A U.S Pineapple picked this up a while ago it was minus the spoon and other bits but since sourced those it has an underlying yellow base colour the green is what it came to me with not sure if that is a typical colour for these things.
All I can find on it is an upside down 4 near the neck and the letters A H in a rather strange font sorta like flattened out and I am not sure if the spoon is the correct for type any one know if they came in all yellow I thought that was for a H.E grenade from the U.S inventory, assistance is always appreciated by myself. TIA

It looks to be correct for the training grenades of a bit longer ago, the later type had a double finger set at front. Here's a site for you to memorize...very informative. American Grenades
