Chemring Smoke Grenades

I found these two smoke grenades as used by the Australian Army.
A 130 Yellow and A 150 Blue. I see that there is a series of colours 10 numbers apart. Still have to find the rest of them.

These grenades were supplied by Chemring Australia in Lara (near Geelong and Melbourne,Vic)
I thought Chemring actually made these grenades but how can you tell if they are UK made by Pains-Wessex and shipped to Australia.
Maybe the loading data may help. Also see my other thread on a smoke grenade box in packaging section.

As far as I know, its a serie of 6 : A110 red, A120 green, A130 yellow, A140 white, A150 blue, A160 purple
 
I have not seen any of these A101 Series grenades as used examples at any gunshows . Another series to collect. Thanks.
sgdbdr . I had that information somewhere in my files but seems lost so thank you too.
 
That is a good question. The coding on the side of the grenade doesn't give much. There isn't a 3 letter code for the manufacturer like I normally see.
