Do you have access to the item? Attempting translation of the text with Google Translate app using phone camera might help with actual designation... I tried using your image above but got only 'GRENADE' for certain - it gave various translations of preceding words ('BARBARIAN', 'RABBIT'...); it might work better if you had the item in front of you. The South Korean text on the KM14 in image reads 'INCENDIARY GRENADE' according to app.
 
Today I got these 3 photos. Hope this helps to translate.

The most credible translation I can get with app is 'TWO-STYLE BURNING INCENDIARY GRENADE'... might 'TWO STYLE' be better translated as 'TYPE 2', given numerical designation of other Chinese grens (i.e. Type 67) and other weapons??
