I think you guys are having commo problems.
The pic is of is essentially the same grenade you carried, LR, so it is not DESIGNED from that mini-grenade, it IS the SAME grenade.
His question was if anyone knew where the Mini-Grenade design came from.
His answer appears to be from the 40mm HE Grenade payload, with a standard Bouchon type pull fuse added.
I cannot dispute that, so I yield to MAB32 on that one.
Besides, they weigh a lot less than your favorite Willie Peter grenade.
