The side view looks like a Mills No. 36. I've not seen this type before, but in WW2 many practice grenades seemed to have been made locally for Home Guard units. There are quite a few different types and new ones emerge from time to time.
 
I was thinking Mills as well. The shape is there, but not there. I guess this might be another type that is out there. This one was at the Aberdeen Museum.
