Due to "inerte" marked fuzes, I suppose these are belgian re-used british HE mortar rounds for drilll or practice purposes? Both are sand-filled and have dummy fuzes. One of the No151III fuzes has two dates/manufacturers: can someone explain that? Which colour would these have had? Black like drill rounds?

Greetz!
 
The two monograms show it was made by CJ (Compression Joints Ltd, Birmingham, in August '42) and filled by CY (Royal Ordnance, Chorley in September '42). Fins made by Evered & Co., Birmingham.

The other fuze seems to be made by HC, in which case Hercules Cycle Co., Birmingham.
