3x Polish mortars found in Finland this summer

How can you tell they are Polish? Is it marked "WZ" somewhere? I know Poland used many French designed weapons, and they used the same French ordnance colors in many cases. These rounds are obviously French designs, but that is not a French color pattern for mortar rounds. A French mortar round would be black at the tail, and the nose would be yellow.
 
They were found in what was left of Polish ammo boxes , i will post somemore photos to show the markings
