Grooves were cast into the cast iron shell, which was believed at the time to aid in fragmentation and had the side benefit of aiding in gripping the grenade; this provision gave it the appearance of a pineapple fruit. The Mk II was identified with an all yellow body prior to 1943. They were then painted olive drab for camouflage purposes with a narrow yellow band below the fuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is in excellent condition with most of the original paint still present, as well as a visible yellow band around the neck and visible yellow underneath the green from when it was an early high explosive example.
