Hand grenades unknown

I think that I have seen thousands of pictures of handgrenades, but none like this. The nice brass fuzeholeplug with the ring is very unusual. I can not help with any identification, but Thanks for showing. I also would wish they were mine. Is it possible to show us details of the bellshaped fuzes as in your last photo No.8. so as to understand its functioning (the different parts of the fuze).

Lovely grenades. They look like they've all been stored together for a long long time, same condition/patina etc.
Thanks for showing them.
Dave.
 
for me it's a spanish civil war grenades, but for the name it's a mystery
 
Goes to show "expedient" or artisan grenades evolved quickly after WWI to something that actually resembled a factory output unit. I am also of opinion Spanish Civil War period and outsourced to be "turned and burned" STS
