Nico in Trittau, today part of Rheinmetall. On exports to the US they have to use the code NPG.

So they originated in Germany. But they don't look like German nomenclatures. Any ideas what country these are?

Looks Scandanavian, possibly Denmark. Check the grenade books.

I have two answers for NIC :
NIC = NORINCO (North China Industries Corp.), Peoples Republic of China
NIC = (or NICO) Pyrotechnik Hanns-Jurgen Diederichs GmbH & Co., Germany

Heu, I think in your case it shall be the second one !

"KM" indicates a special non toxic smoke composition (a NICO specialty).
