35mm Rifle Grenade.

I cannot find information about this 35mm rifle Grenade that is possibly a Smoke Grenade?
I would like to know the country that made it and the model/type.

Gold coloured aluminium with 4 holes (2 have been removed) and shows a black compound inside. It seems to have a charge wrapped in foil? that seems to be smoke?
Perhaps the grenade was a dud and was inerted as the internal parts are very clean. The strong spring does not move so maybe to overcome forces when fired. The primer inside with the smaller spring is unfired and the firing pin is in the nose section.

Print has been removed from the body so makes ID hard except for the texta writing.
It is 35mm body diameter. 340mm long and the end is 22mm diam for the barrel or launcher spigot.

Again I need a country, model and grenade type please.

Maybe there is a typo on the website.
Nah, I don't think it's a typo. The design (shape) of the M232 PRAC isn't the same as that M200 HEDP.As such the M230 PRAC is likely the truer representation of the M200 HEDP. It is mentioned in a few books I have, but I don't have an image of it unfortunately. I presume what Ron posted is an M230 PRAC.
