Does anyone know in which years the L1A1, L1A2, and L1A3 CS grenades were introduced into service.

British L1A1 L1A2 L1A3 CS grenades
- Thread starter reccetrooper
- Start date
The Grenade Recognition Manual site states 'about March 1960' as date for introduction of the L1A1, but I can't find dates for the later types.
A related question: did the L13 series grenades replace the L1 series, and if so, were the former the last CS grenades fielded by the British Armed Forces?
