Diameter of WWI German Practice Stielhandgranate Handle

Hi,

I have a dug WWI practice stick grenade head incoming that I’m hoping to restore. It’s the type shown on the right of this picture in a previous thread:

Would it be possible to modify an off the shelf repro HE grenade handle to fit it, or is the diameter different? In the picture, it seems to have a wider diameter at the top where it connects to the lower fitting compared to the HE grenade. Did the M15/M16/M17 grenades all have the same diameter stick, or were they different?

Thanks,
Mark
